Description

Roses of vanadinite are not uncommon, but roses as symmetric as this and as beautiful as this are super difficult to find! The piece is almost floater of interconnected crystals that form a fine rosette! The color is very strong on the display face and turn into orange on the back. On the back, the luster is matte, while it's very strong on the front! The backlight gives an intense red color and the piece is undamaged!
