Stone - Vivianite
Gemology – Fe2+Fe2+2(PO4)2·8H2O or, for the those of us that are not chemistry nerds - Iron, Water and Phosphate. Vivianite was discovered in England in 1817. Vivianite is a very fragile mineral and can be easily scratched ranking it a 2 on the Mohs Hardness Scale. It has a monoclinic crystal structure meaning it forms in thin sheets that are held together by very weak bonds. For reference, this would give it the same crystal growth pattern of clear Selenite.
