Vivianite
Tomokoni mine, Machacamarca District (Colavi District), Cornelio Saavedra Province, Potosi Department, Bolivia
Miniature, 4.6 x 4.0 x 1.7 cm
SOLD
This mine has produced what are clearly some of the finest quality Vivianite specimens ever seen. This piece features many beautiful, lustrous, gem quality, blue-green, sword shaped "textbook" crystals of Vivianite sitting atop metamorphosed Sandstone. Typically the crystals from this find were either off matrix, or only hosted a single crystal on matrix, so to find a plethora of crystals on matrix like this is truly rare for this locality. Ex. Richard Kosnar Collection.
