Item Description

Fantastic super-sharp miniature specimen that has an UNIQUE appearance compared to other Bolivian vivianites, looking like nothing so much as a gem green triangle ! Held up to the light, you see a clear double-pyramid window with a little matrix in the back creating an interesting image of the matrix inclusion within a series of receding views (layers). It is stunning in person. This actualy could (depending on if you angle it up or diagonal) quality as a very large thumbnail or a smaller sized (toenail) miniature. It is perfect all around and simply Gorgeous. From old finds of the very early 2000s. Valued highly!
