Item Description
This piece features a beautiful, lustrous, gemmy, emerald green, sword shaped "textbook" crystal of Vivianite on metamorphosed Sandstone. These are some of the best quality Vivianite crystals you will see from any locality. Keep in mind that over 75% of the specimens from this find have had SERIOUS damage problems. This piece is virtually undamaged and so aesthetic. I have never seen specimens of this quality, color, luster and gemminess before.
