Item Description

This miniature size piece features an absolutely beautiful, lustrous, gemmy, emerald green, sword shaped "textbook" crystal of Vivianite with minor 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 in great shape and very attractive. I have never seen specimens of this quality, color, luster and gemminess before.
