A classic example of "bent" Vivianite in the form of a handful of sharp, lustrous, fine green color crystals with "sword"-shaped terminations and minor altered sandstone. Vivianite is an incredibly soft mineral, and it can often bend to create uniquely twisted or distorted crystals unlike virtually any other species. Combine that with the fact that the crystals are notably gemmy, and you have a one-of-a-kind miniature. Most of the crystals are undamaged, though the smaller accessory crystal on the side is contacted.
