Wholesale Bolivian Vivianite
From the new find at the end of Summer 2004.
We are very proud to offer the first of what we consider to be some
of the very best quality crystals of this species to ever come from
Bolivia. These crystals have without question the best luster
of any Vivianite specimens to date from this country. Another
outstanding feature is the wonderful color contrast between the
vivid Green Vivianite and the altered red sandstone . These pieces
have what is some of the best matrix for these crystals from
Bolivia. It's not unstable like decomposing Limonite and it provides
a much more appealing contrast than ordinary Pyrite. These
pieces have outstanding aesthetics, color, quality and they are on a
wonderful matrix.
