Vivianite is known for its deep blue-green color, which can sometimes appear almost black until exposed to light that reveals its true colors. It is a hydrated iron phosphate mineral that forms in environments where organic decomposition enriches phosphate levels. This can lead to the formation of highly aesthetic, glassy crystals that are both delicate and striking.

The specimen’s unique crystal structure and impressive size make it an exceptional piece for display. Vivianite’s softness (2.5 on the Mohs hardness scale) makes it a delicate mineral, which is why it is securely housed to preserve its pristine condition.

This Vivianite is not only a beautiful addition to any collection but also an educational piece that highlights the geological diversity of the Amazon region. It comes display-ready with an ID card.
