Hello Sante!
The Vanadinite from Mexico is an outstanding specimen! I like the contrast between crystals and matrix.
Stay healthy,
Volkmar

I agree, outstanding specimen, always a pleasure to see a non-Moroccan vanadinite :-)

Hi, Bob. How are you? Thank you for your attention.
I apologize for the bad quality of my photos that have misled you.
I would have liked the rarer prismatic habit for my anatase, but it's actually a typical tetragonal bipyramid with a strong truncation.
In the next specimen the truncated bipyramid is more evident.
Warm greetings.
Sante
