[Source] Vanadinite was a crystalline mineral that had a crimson hue comparable to that of the Kaiburr crystal.
A dense, brittle mineral, it is usually found in the form of red hexagonal crystals. It is an uncommon mineral, only occurring as the result of chemical alterations to a pre-existing material. It is therefore known as a secondary mineral. It is found in arid climates and forms by oxidation of primary lead minerals. Vanadinite is especially found in association with the lead sulfide, galena. Other associated minerals include wulfenite, and limonite.
