This specimen hosts a large vug filled with spear-shaped deep greenish blue vivianite crystals. The vivianite crystals are dark and look almost black under lesser light, and come to life with more light. They are sharp and lustrous, and the thinnest are translucent, almost transparent. In excellent condition, a couple of incomplete terminations. The vug runs all through the piece from the display side through the back – it is so full of crystals that only a small amount of light comes through. This is an impressive specimen from the Steve Szilard collection, great for the locality.

A note about vivianite: it is light-sensitive and prolonged exposure to light will darken the crystals. The crystals on this specimen are already dark, nonetheless it would be best to keep it out of bright light.
