Description:This mine has produced what are clearly some of the finest quality Vivianite specimens ever seen. This thumbnail size piece features a good quality, lustrous, dark green, sword doubly-terminated shaped "textbook" crystal of Vivianite with minor metamorphosed Sandstone. Keep in mind that over 75% of the specimens from this find have had SERIOUS damage problems. This piece is in very good shape and is one of the better specimen I've offered in the auctions recently. When considering the best specimens found from this mine, rarely does one see specimens of this quality, color and luster not only from Bolivia, but virtually any world locality.
