Dramatically isolated on a large, contrasting matrix is a pristine, complete, super crystal of vivianite. It measures 4.5 cm in length, and a thick 1.5 cm across. It is GEMMY, yet obviously dark because of its thickness. It has a really gleaming surface luster, looks almost polished! Ex. Bruce Carter Collection.
