Bolivian Vivianite # BV01

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!
