Vivianite from Huanuni Mine, Bolivia
from the Huanuni Mine is a connoisseur’s material: fragile, deeply colored, and inseparable from one of the great tin systems of the Bolivian Andes. The best pieces show flattened, spear- to sail-shaped crystals in saturated bottle-green, blue-green, or sea-green tones, often with a glassy luster and enough internal transparency to glow at the edges. On matrix, the contrast can be superb: vivianite blades rising from brown siderite, glittering pyrite, black cassiterite-rich rock, or arsenopyrite-pyrite masses from the same tin-polymetallic environment.
