{"product_id":"collectors-vivianite-on-matrix","title":"Collectors Vivianite on Matrix","description":"\u003cp\u003eAn exceptional natural Vivianite mineral specimen featuring a striking elongated green crystal rising dramatically from its original matrix, accompanied by additional bladed crystal growth across the base.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe main crystal is the star of this piece, displaying beautiful translucent forest and emerald-green colour with strong longitudinal striations and flashes of lighter green as the light passes through it. Smaller dark green to blue-green crystals sit across the surrounding matrix, creating a wonderfully architectural specimen with interest from every angle.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eAt approximately 8cm x 5cm and 141g, this is a true collector-focused piece rather than a polished crystal. Its combination of crystal size, colour, translucency and contrasting natural matrix gives it the kind of presence that makes Vivianite so sought after by mineral collectors.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eVivianite\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eVivianite is a hydrated iron phosphate mineral, typically forming as elongated, prismatic or bladed crystals. Fresh Vivianite may initially be very pale or almost colourless, developing increasingly strong blue-green to deep green tones through oxidation and exposure to light.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eBecause Vivianite is both relatively soft and light-sensitive, collector specimens are best displayed thoughtfully and handled carefully. Prolonged exposure to strong sunlight or intense UV light should be avoided in order to help preserve the specimen's colour and condition.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eWithin crystal traditions, Vivianite is often associated with emotional reflection, compassion, personal growth and reconnecting with the heart. Its rich green colour also leads to a traditional association with the Heart Chakra.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eOften Associated With\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eEmotional reflection\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCompassion and understanding\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePersonal growth\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHeart-centred energy\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eInner awareness\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eProduct Details\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMineral:\u003c\/strong\u003e Vivianite\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFormation:\u003c\/strong\u003e Natural prismatic \/ bladed crystals on matrix\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight:\u003c\/strong\u003e 141g\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSize:\u003c\/strong\u003e Approx. 8cm x 5cm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCondition:\u003c\/strong\u003e Natural collector mineral specimen\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eCollector Care\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eVivianite is a delicate collector mineral and should be handled carefully.
