Vivianite is a unique and uncommon crystal nicknamed The Necro Crystal. It gets its nickname due having been found growing on seashells, cast iron artifacts, and even decomposed human remains.
How and why does Vivianite form on human remains? Vivianite forms in damp environments in the presence of phosphate and the absence of sulphur. Dead bodies are a good source of phosphate in the form of bone, and when placed in an iron rich environment, Vivianite can form. Most Vivianite on the market is not from a corpse, as the crystals found on corpses are tiny.
Metaphysically, Vivianite is a crystal that is said to provide many powerful properties. It is protective, said to bring peace and serenity by removing negative influences in your life, which can lead to life path changes, making it also a stone of personal transformation and spiritual growth.
It is deeply attuned to the heart space, offering emotional healing and renewal. Due to this, it is said to be a stone of love, but more in the sense that it connects you back to the love of self that you already had but may have lost along the way. It is said to reconnect you with your heart and your inner voice while illuminating the spirit, and inviting you to find comfort in who you are.
Affirmation: "I am remembering who I am and holding that person in deep love."
