Item Description
Striking, water-clear, vivid green, vivianite prisms to 2.1 cm are aesthetically clustered atop a narrow wedge of shale coated with sparkly, iridescent, brassy, pyrite microcrystal on this excellent and classic specimen - from the 1980s finds at the famous Morococala Mine of Bolivia. This combination has always been highly desirable, as not many MATRIX pieces of this quality were found and these beautiful vivianites are particularly gemmy! Ex Joan Massague Collection..valued $400
