Item Description
A 2.4 cm, sharp, doubly terminated, tabular, vivianite crystal is jauntily set in matrix on this fine thumbnail from the premier US vivianite locality. The lustrous, striated crystal has frosted and etched faces. The cleaved edge reveals that the crystal is translucent with the desirable and rare rich PURPLE color. The purple color is indicative of this locality, closed since the 1960s. An excellent, highly desirable matrix example from classic locality and the Carl Davis Collection. valued $750
