A jackstraw arrangement of extremely lustrous, elongated, dark green vivianite crystals, to 2.0 cm in length (a large DT crystal in middle). This is of good size for the deposit, and not many have ever come out. They are emplaced on a color-contrasting, limonite matrix. The vivianite crystals are in good shape with most having nail head terminations. I have NEVER seen a cabinet specimen from this locality and this is thus a pretty significant Florida and US vivianite. These were mined in the mid-1980s by the mine geologist and kept in his collection until we bought the lot, last year.
