Gem Vivianite

Item Description

This mine has produced what are clearly some of the finest quality vivianite specimens ever seen. This piece features an absolutely beautiful, lustrous, gem quality, emerald green, sword shaped "textbook" crystal of vivianite with fabulously accenting reddish-brown 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 in good shape compared to many I have seen, with only gentle termination bruising and it is one of the gemmier pieces I've offered from the find. I have never seen specimens of this quality, color, luster and gemminess before, not only from Bolivia, but virtually any world locality.
