Description

Vivianite from Rosia Poieni Mine, Romania.

A piece of that amazing new findings.

Clear, transparent and shiny green - I used not much backlight to show the crystal which total leght is over 3 cm. Sitting on matrix which is also partly vivianite.

Top is ok - a little bit of crystalline layer on the back side - but due to the transparency you can directly look at the layer through the green crystal (e.g. look photo 2)
