Item Description
The Tomokoni Mine (adit) is part of the Canutillos complex, and has produced what are clearly some of the finest quality Vivianite specimens ever seen. This is a wonderful miniature size piece featuring absolutely beautiful, good quality, lustrous, GEM/gemmy, emerald green, sword shaped "textbook" crystals of Vivianite with minor metamorphosed Sandstone. These are some of the best quality Vivianite crystals you will see from any locality, hands down. Keep in mind that over 75% of the specimens from this find have had SERIOUS damage problems. This piece is in great condition, very gemmy for the material. It's important to note that a lot of Bolivian Vivianites can be somewhat rounded and dull, and I have never seen specimens of this quality, color, luster and gemminess before from any other Bolivian locale.
From the worldwide mineral collection of geologist, Demetrius Pohl (#1455).
