It is primarily found in the Mibladen area of the Atlas Mountains in Morocco. Vanadinite is a mineral composed of lead chloride and vanadate (Pb5(VO4)3Cl). It often forms as hexagonal crystals, which can vary in size from very small to several centimeters in length. Vanadinite crystals often form in a hexagonal shape with a barrel-like appearance. They can exhibit various habits, including prismatic, tabular, or pyramidal forms. The crystals are typically small, but some exceptional specimens can reach sizes large enough for cutting and faceting into gemstones. Vanadinite is often found associated with other minerals such as wulfenite, barite, and calcite. These associations can add to the aesthetic appeal of vanadinite specimens, as contrasting colors and crystal habits create visually striking mineral specimens.
