VivianiteThis piece was collected in 2000, when Huanuni had a short, but prosperous boom of specimens. I personally obtained this piece at the mine on one of my first trips to Bolivia. I kept it as a memento of those early years visiting Bolivia, but its time for it to find a new home. A very sharp, GEM quality, rather lustrous, rich emerald green, thin, prismatic crystal with a beautiful termination. Great quality all the way around, and certainly better

No damage to the Brookite and just beautiful in person

The piece is in great shape overall

prismatic crystal of Vivianite which is associated with beautifully contrasting golden Childrenite aggregates

Many of the Galena crystals actually have Quartz crystals growing right through them

Specimen # BOL711B251

I have photographed the crystals under the microscope to show that they are truly terminated crystals and not just a mass

“sword”-shaped crystal with a beautiful termination with golden Siderite and aesthetically flaring off Pyrite matrix
