Description

Vivianite from Rosia Poieni Mine, Romania.

A specimen from the amazing new findings.

Rather thick (1.7 cm!) viviantie crystal but still lightning green and transculent.
Although there is some matrix on the crystal - the size of 4.8 x 3 cm is still impressive.

Quality is most likely the best ever found in Europe.

I made also a photo without light just to show the growth of the crystal and not only the intensive green when illuminated.
Beside the matrix crystal is in good condition and mostly free.
