Deep green crystals of Vivianite that formed inside a fossil bivalve. These are interesting and beautiful classics from an old iron mine that is long closed. Once fairly abundant, these are now not commonly seen. Ex. Chuck Trantham collection. Comes with an old Hawthorneden label showing a (likley decades old) price of $35.
