Vivianite butterfly twin It’s incomplete on the back

It’s incomplete on the back where it came off the matrix

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

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

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

Vivianite butterfly twin It’s incomplete on the backThis 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,
