This 58.12 gram raw, green-blue Vivianite specimen from Bolivia has extreme translucence and vivid coloring with pleochroism. It exhibits two distinct crystals growing from a plate of botryoidal chalcedony on soft red toned matrix. This fragile specimen is just 1.5-2 on the hardness scale, so it is quite fragile and to be handled with care. It will retain its coloring best out of direct sunlight, as the iron content can tarnish and darken the color in the sun. This specimen represents a high-grade example of this sought-after collector’s mineral. It measures approximately 3.5 x 1.25 x 1.1 inches.
