Description

In the 1970thies, long before the great Bolivian finds the finest and mostly sought after vivianites came from Trepca and from Romania as well. It was a hard fight to get hold of a good item of this species in those days. And this specimen is definitely from Trepca. A super, well defined crystal with an interesting growing pattern of some faces. It is high lustrous, sharp edged and transparent. You can see it on the first picture I made with backlight. Just super and especially nowadays exceeding hard to get.
