Vivianite

This specimen was collected in 2000, when Huanuni had a short, but prosperous boom of specimens. I personally obtained this piece at the mine on one of my first trips to Bolivia. I kept it as a memento of those early years visiting Bolivia, but it’s time for it to find a new home.

The piece features a very sharp, GEM quality, highly lustrous, rich emerald green, “sword”-shaped crystal with a beautiful termination with Siderite on Pyrite matrix. A great quality piece from Huanuni, and certainly better quality than a lot of Vivianites from this mine from the standpoint of gemminess and color, plus the fact that it’s aesthetically sitting on matrix.
