Vivianite Blade C (42g)

Vivianite Blade C (42g)

For a Vivianite specimen with stronger visual presence, Vivianite Blade C (42g) is the standout of the mid-sized pieces in this batch. Weighing 42g and measuring Approx. 11 × 2.5cm, its bladed form and green-blue colouring make it a striking natural display mineral from Brazil.

Vivianite is more than a pretty blue-green mineral: it is a hydrated iron phosphate that commonly forms prismatic to flattened crystals. Larger well-formed crystals are comparatively less common, which makes strong blade shapes particularly appealing to mineral collectors.

Compare it with other natural formations in our selected rough crystal collection to create a varied display of natural mineral forms.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: Is this a natural specimen?

A: Yes. This product is sold as an authentic natural Vivianite blade specimen from Brazil, so shape, colour, surface texture and formation will vary naturally.

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: 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: 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: 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 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.
