JFD26AN6: Vanadinite with Dolomite

Of course it has a 'suspicious' aspect, so when I bought it the first thing I did was leave it in acetone for more than 24 hours and, since it came out the same, without anything detached, I studied it carefully under the binocular and was able to verify that there was nothing wrong with it. The large (for the locality) crystals, unusual color and such an aerial presentation on its Dolomite matrix made me fall in love with it, and so... Into the collection!
