Vivianite is a fascinating mineral known for its deep blue-green hues. This iron phosphate is often formed in an oxygen-free environment, for example in muddy deposits or in places with a high content of organic matter. Vivianite is a prized crystal not only for its beauty, but also for its interesting property of changing color when exposed to light - it gradually darkens with oxidation. It is named after the British mineralogist John Henry Vivian, who described it in the 19th century. Vivianite is used in jewelry and collecting, where it is sought after for its aesthetic qualities and relative rarity. This mineral is popular among mineralogists and lovers of natural beauty.
