Vivianite butterfly twin The piece truly looks better

The piece truly looks better in person as Ferberite is a difficult species to accurately photograph

It’s rare to find a pair of intergrown twins like this from Tasna

One corner has a contact

This rich golden Copal specimen is loaded with approximately 100 insect inclusions consisting mainly of termites (specifically termite wings) (Isoptera) a single ant (Formicidae)

and certainly better quality than a lot of Vivianites from this mine from the standpoint of gemminess and color

Vivianite butterfly twin The piece truly looks betterThis piece was collected in 2000, when Huanuni had a short, but prosperous boom of specimens. I personally obtained this piece at the mine on one of my first trips to Bolivia. I kept it as a memento of those early years visiting Bolivia, but its time for it to find a new home. A fairly sharp, GEM quality, highly lustrous, rich emerald green, crystal with a beautiful termination with minor golden Siderite and matrix. A great quality piece from Huanuni,
