I had seen this specimen in the room of a Czech dealer early in the Tucson show when I was buying Eastern European specimens, and later went back to see him specifically to buy it when I thought about how few really good vivianites I was seeing around, and the prices they are getting. It is a striking arrangement of two lustrous, super-sharp, intergrown crystals of a translucent bottle-green. Matrix on the left side of the specimen adds a nice contrast. The crystal in front is double-terminated, and the one in back is terminated on top (small natural contact towards the back). 8.7 x 3.5 x 3.5 cm
