Cute miniature with attractive multiple terminations at one end. Good luster and very good clarity. Much of the crystal is backed by matrix and so the piece as a whole has less color than it might otherwise, but it is still a very appealing single crystal.
Beautiful single 6.7 cm crystal with good luster and a highly variegated color pattern. The good clarity allows you to fully appreciate these color patterns, and it looks very much like a piece of Tiffany stained glass. This would be a wonderful complement to your other vivianites, or stands alone as a very attractive interesting specimen. From teh front, this is pristine and complete. the back face, however, is a contact face (and hence it is priced much lower than it would otherwise be!)
Very sharp thick (1.4 cm) crystal with average luster but excellent clarity. This would make a good addition to any other locality vivianites in a collection.
Very nice "triangular" crystal modified by matrix in several places. Superb luster along the edges and good clarity make this and attractive crystal.
Sharp single with superb clarity and minor matrix at one end. The leading edge of the termination is oddly splayed out a bit, but that does not detract form the terrific glow of the crystal and in fact adds a bit of aesthetic appeal.
Killer small miniature with a PERFECT, GLASSY, modified single crystal (thick to thin) of superb luster and clarity. Delicate and lovely, this is much better in person.
Bright and sparkling complex cluster of crystals to 2.4 cm with good luster and clarity. Very appealing to the eye that likes clusters such as this.
Sharp modified crystal (3.3 x 1.7 x 1.3) with decent luster and very good color; and excellent clarity in one direction. Very attractive, especially edge-on where you can appreciate the clarity and the deep green color. Matrix at the bottom and along the back.
Very fine miniature featuring one major 4.4 cm GEM crystal crossing several smaller crystals embedded in the matrix. The main crystal has excellent luster and transparency, and no bruising whatsoever! SHARP!
Very attractive pair of sharp crystals to 5.3 cm that grow together through the matrix to make one very attractive complex crystal about 1.5 cm thick!. Good color, clarity, and luster , plus the thickness make this an impressive piece!
Super sharp mini that features a clear 3 cm crystal perched perfectly on a small amount of matrix. The little bits of embedded matrix in the crystal adds to the character, and is more than offset by the crystal’s superb clarity. This will just glow in your cabinet.
Superb miniature-sized crystal that sits perfectly upright on matrix! The 3.6 x 1.5 main crystal has excellent clarity in both directions, and just glows! There is minor matrix along one edge of the termination on one face, but this crystal is so good the bit of matrix does nothing but add some character to the specimen. A definite keeper, and MUCH better in person.
Terrific small cabinet specimen with excellent aesthetics features one lustrous super-clear 3 cm crystal rising up dead-center from a base of two flat-lying crystals on matrix. Very very attractive.
Beautiful 4.3 x 1.4 cm crystal with absolutely the best striated luster on all the surfaces. Good color and clarity, although the clarity is hindered somewhat by the matrix. Very sharp, and better in person. OVER 1 cm thick! GORGEOUS!
