I
never get tired of looking at this particular mineral species from Bolivia!
I took many pictures to give you a good look at the perfection of this
fine specimen. Consists of one "whopping " main Vivianite
crystal, along with a couple of smaller inter grown ones. Perfect termination,
damage free, and top quality color! During a photo shoot, these Vivianites
tend to reflect off the lighting, so I shot from many different angles,
and without any backlighting, to make sure you can really see how naturally
rich, gemmy, and translucent the main crystal is. The contrast of the
altered Red Sandstone matrix, and emerald green Vivianite is so aesthetically
awesome! This is the biggest piece I have to offer, and this small cabinet
beauty is ready to grace your collection! |

Another
nice grouping of mostly inter grown crystals, with some matrix. Terminations
are very sharp, except one side terminates with some matrix, but is
not damaged. Classic emerald green color, that has glassy, and gemmy
qualities. Overall, a very wonderful miniature! |
