Item Description
This mine has produced what are clearly some of the finest quality Vivianite specimens not only from Bolivia, but virtually any world locality. This toenail size piece features a good quality, lustrous, gemmy emerald green, sword shaped "textbook" crystal 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 virtually undamaged and is one of the gemmier crystals I've offered from the find.
