VivianiteHere we have an incredibly rare cluster of crystals from Tomokoni featuring thin, lustrous, gemmy, sharp "sword" shaped prisms intermixed with contrasting red argillaceous sandstone. The majority of the crystals are undamaged, though there are a few contacts here and there. The crystals show a slight blue hue in areas when rotated in the light, which is due to their smaller size. Specimen #VIVBOL81807
