Item Description

A beautiful, doubly terminated vivianite crystal is very aesthetically set atop a sculptural wedge of sandstone matrix on this showy and excellent piece from recent finds in Bolivia. The 2.2 cm vivianite crystal is highly lustrous, transparent and has gorgeous sea-green color. A bit of termination edgewear is noted, but is a modest detraction. Highly representative and striking material from this locale.
