HISTORICAL OVERVIEW
Vivianite was first described in 1817 and named after John Henry Vivian, a British mineralogist. It is a hydrated iron phosphate mineral often found in clay, peat bogs, or fossilized remains. Collectors value its unique property of darkening when exposed to light. In metaphysical traditions, Vivianite is considered a stone of healing, compassion, and inner vision, helping one release negativity and embrace renewal.
