This 49.40 gram raw, green-blue Vivianite specimen from Brazil has extreme translucence and vivid coloring with pleochroism. It has unique and rare "dragon scale" terminations, finely etched and with an intact crackled look. It also includes a perfectly terminated Ludlamite crystal perched on the matrix at its base. 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 90 x 43 x 28 millimeters.
