Mineral: Vanadinite and Calcite
Locality: San Carlos Mine (Apex Mine), San Carlos, Municipio Manuel Benavides, Chihuahua, Mexico
Dimensions: about 6 cm tall

Description: These were fairly widely available at the 2020 Tucson shows after making their debut in Denver 2019. Most had significant damage but this one is quite clean. Brownish coloration is a bit boring but the association with the rhombohedral calcite makes it worth adding to the collection
