Damn am I excited to have a piece of Vivianite in stock. It’s the ultimate fantasy, sword & sorcery mineral. Very hard to come by and I ain’t parting with my personal piece. It’s rare and highly sought after by mineral collectors. Part of why you don’t see it a lot is its fragility, you basically have to treat it like a Gremlin.
So what is Vivianite? It’s a iron-rich phosphate mineral that forms in water-logged environments and grows mainly on fossilized bones and shells or decaying organic matter aka dead things which is why it also possesses the moniker CORPSE CRYSTAL. Yes, it is found on human remains.
The type that is highly sought after forms in blades, like this specimen, with rich hues of green and blue that look almost black from most angles.
So that Gremlin thing? When Vivianite forms it is colorless. As soon as it is exposed to oxygen and light it starts to darken. Once that happens, it doesn’t stop, it will keep darkening until it turns completely black, losing the cool green and blue tones. This processes rapidly accelerates if it’s exposed to or kept in bright light, particularly sunlight. But if it’s kept in a relatively shaded environment, it can take a few decades to darken. I took all the pictures in the shade.
This is a powerful crystal for physical regeneration and excellent for parting the veil between worlds and for sorting out karmic crap. If there is one singular mineral that can take you into the mysterious unknown, this is it. If you work with any psychopomps, or are one yourself, this is your stone.
I don’t know when I can get more. Grab this piece and treat it well (and carefully).
