Item Description
This mine has produced what are clearly some of the finest quality Vivianite specimens ever seen. This piece is an absolutely beautiful, good quality, rather lustrous, gemmy emerald green, sword shaped "textbook" crystal group of Vivianite with 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 good condition and has good gemminess for the material. I have never handled so many specimens of this quality, color, luster and gemminess before, not only from Bolivia, but virtually any world locality.
