Description:Three, gemmy and lustrous, beautiful, bluish-green, prismatic, vivianite crystals to 2.4 cm are attractively set on mounded matrix covered with sparkling, iridescent, brassy, pyrite microcrystals on this classic and excellent specimen from the 1980s finds at the famous Morococala Mine of Bolivia. The etching on the vivianites remind me of Wolodarsk heliodors. Ex Jesse Fisher and Joan Kureczka Collection and according to the accompanying label, was purchased from Marty Zinn at Tucson in 1987 for $300. This combination has always been highly desirable, as not many of this quality were found. Today, this is worth more!
