Vivianite Blade B (9g)

Vivianite Blade B (9g)

Vivianite Blade B (9g) has the elegant, elongated profile that makes bladed Vivianite so visually distinctive. This authentic Brazilian specimen weighs 9g and measures Approx. 10 × 1.5cm, giving it a slender display shape that works beautifully in a curated mineral collection.

One of Vivianite’s most interesting features is its colour behaviour. Mineral references describe fresh Vivianite as potentially nearly colourless, with oxidation producing increasingly blue or green-blue tones. The mineral is a hydrated iron phosphate and is notably soft, at around 1.5–2 on the Mohs scale.

If you enjoy collecting minerals by species, you can also shop crystals by name to create a varied display of natural mineral forms.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: Why does Vivianite show blue and green shades?

A: Vivianite’s colour is linked to changes in the oxidation state of iron within the mineral. Fresh material can be much paler, while oxidation is associated with deeper blue and green-blue tones.

Q: What is Vivianite?

A: Vivianite is a natural hydrated iron phosphate mineral. It is known for bladed or flattened crystal forms and green, blue-green to deep blue colouring.

Q: Will every Vivianite blade look the same?

A: No. Natural Vivianite specimens differ in blade shape, thickness, colour, transparency, surface texture and other formation details.

Q: How hard is Vivianite?

A: Vivianite is soft for a mineral, measuring roughly 1.5–2 on the Mohs scale. Handle it gently and avoid rubbing it against harder crystals or surfaces.

Q: How should I display and care for Vivianite?

A: Handle the specimen gently, keep it somewhere secure where it cannot be knocked, and avoid unnecessary rubbing or frequent handling because Vivianite is soft.
