Vanadinite, not really a gemstone, but only because it's too soft!

See this for better information.

Post challenge:

Yes olbol, they are indeed 100% natural.. The composition is somewhat due to the fact the crystals are still on the matrix, so nature did the arrangement here, not me... Although I do see how I might have cropped this better...

nice; I like the textures, rough yet smooth and just enough shine; a fine job :-)

Are you telling us all those nice facets are made by nature? Even if polishing stone hasn't touched them, the picture is let down by ugly ligting and messy composition.

Perfect example for something substantial, geometric, a touchable "thing" made by nature!
They are beautiful!
