Vivianite

Item Description

This mine has produced what are clearly some of the finest quality Vivianite specimens ever seen. This miniature size piece features good quality, doubly-terminated, lustrous, gemmy emerald green, sword shaped "textbook" crystals of Vivianite with very 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 superb shape for the material, and is certainly better than the majority of specimens I have handled. I have never seen specimens of this quality, color, luster and gemminess before, not only from Bolivia, but virtually any world locality.
