Item Description
This mine has produced what are clearly some of the finest quality Vivianite specimens ever seen. This small cabinet size piece features good quality, gemmy, lustrous, deep emerald sword shaped "textbook" crystals of Vivianite on metamorphosed Sandstone.

This piece is great condition for the material. The best of these specimens are some of the most impressive pieces from the standpoint of quality, color, luster and gemminess, not only from Bolivia, but virtually any world locality.
