Geology · Formation
How it forms: Oxidation zone of lead ore bodies.
Vanadinite is a heavy, vibrant mineral that serves as a primary ore of Vanadium. It forms in the 'oxidation zone' of lead-rich ore deposits in arid regions. Vanadium-rich fluids react with lead minerals in the presence of Chlorine. The Result: Brilliant, hexagonal 'barrel' crystals in vivid red, orange, or brown.
