A showy and aesthetic miniature display specimen featuring a handful of sharp, well-formed, rather gemmy, higly lustrous crystals of Vivianite elegantly set atop red argillaceous sandstone matrix. Only a smaller percentage of Vivianite specimens from this locality are found on matrix, and very few host multiple crystals like this one. The main crystal is doubly terminated with a beautiful internal color and near WATER CLEAR transparency. No damage to the display side, but it is slightly incomplete on the back where it was removed from the pocket wall.
