Description
These throw me for a loop whenever I see them! This is a GEM vivianite that is shaped almost like a tourmaline, especially when looking head-on. Fool your friends, stick it in with the tourmies! This crystal is entirely gemmy and is MUCH MUCH more bright and lustrous and gemmy in person.
