The magnetization measurements at magnetic field up to 6 T obtained from newly grown hexagonal Cd1-xVxS (x ≈ 0.0004) are presented. The strong anisotropy of magnetization is observed at low temperatures (1.6 < T < 20 K). The data are well described by the crystal field model calculations taking into account static trigonal Jahn-Teller distortion and spin-orbit coupling.
