A superb, very gemmy and pristine, thick, doubly terminated, parallel-growth emerald-green vivianite crystal attached to a bit of sandstone matrix from the finds in Bolivia about 4-5 ago. The saw-toothed termination is very gemmy, while the other termination is rounded and is lightly etched. Very unusual on this striking specimen, which is large for the find and locale.
