Specifically it belongs to the apatite group of minerals.\u003cbr\u003eRock formation- vanadinite is a secondary mineral meaning it forms through the alteration of pre-existing materials rather than directly from magmatic melts.\u003cbr\u003eIt typically develops in the oxidized zones of lead bearing ore deposits.\u003cbr\u003eIts formation requires an arid or semi arid climate. Groundwater rich in oxygen primary lead minerals like galena and a source of vanadium (often leached from surrounding rocks or silicates.\u003cbr\u003eBecause of how it is formed you will find it alongside other secondary minerals e.g Baryte,Wulfenite Mimetite Cerussite and iron oxides.\u003cbr\u003eVanadinite hardness is 3-4 on the MOHs scale.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Crystal and fossils","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":58186724245891,"sku":null,"price":25.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0563\/2524\/3040\/files\/IMG-8452.heic?v=1780595978","url":"https:\/\/crystalandfossils.co.uk\/products\/vanadinite-24","provider":"Crystal and fossils","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
