Vanadinite is a lead vanadate mineral that typically forms in the oxidized zones of lead deposits, with notable specimens coming from Morocco, Mexico, and the southwestern United States. First described in the early 19th century, it became especially prized by collectors for its vivid red, orange, and brown hexagonal crystals. Today, vanadinite is mainly collected as a mineral specimen, though it has also been mined as a minor source of vanadium and lead.
