Description
The Kerch Peninsula, part of the Crimea Peninsula in the Ukraine, is particularly famous for its excellent specimens of the iron phosphate Vivianite. This beautiful large miniature/small cabinet specimen has two main crystalline structures of Vivianite crystals covering a rusty brown limonitic matrix. Its top surface is encrusted with botryoidal bluish-black Vivianite forming hillocky mounds. Over these sit the two crystallised groups, one measuring 4 x 3 cm with upward pointing crystals forming a three-dimensional spray and adjacent to this, a spray forming an inverted cone. Although intensely dark blue-green and hence appearing black, the crystalline structure of the inverted cone flashes electric sapphire blue. A showy and most pleasing Vivianite from the Kerch Peninsula.

How this data is collected: Our system continuously monitors mineral listings from authorized dealer partners across the internet. We have explicit permission from all dealers whose listings we track - any dealers who have not provided specific and explicit authorization are NOT listed and NOT tracked by our system. When a previously available listing is marked as sold or removed from sale, we record this as a completed transaction. While we cannot guarantee the exact final sale price (as negotiations may occur), this data represents publicly listed prices for specimens that have transitioned from "for sale" to "sold" status. This provides valuable market insights based on observable listing behavior patterns.
