The lead mineralization of the Mibladen district is classic Mississippi Valley Type geology. Vanadinite is hosted within lower Jurassic in the form of stratabound veins in marls and dolomites. A good article was just published in the May/June 2013 issue of the Mineralogical Record written by Tomasz Praszkier of Spirifer Minerals. The Spirifer guys take regular trips to these mines.
This specimen is a high luster, deep red, gorgeous group of hexagonal crystals to 1.5cm. No damage. Excellent specimen.

Exceptional, well crystallized specimen of Vanadinite from this locality known for it pyramidal terminations. This piece feature two long crystals to over 1.3cm each with numerous smaller crystals. Virtually no damage with a nice dark red color. These are incredibly difficult to come by. I never see these on the market and have only seen them in private collection. I stumbled upon this specimen by a chance stop at a rock shop in Globe on the way to Tucson.
