    Vivianite is a mineral that can form in, on, and around human remains. It appears as crusty patches on bones, needle-like crystals within the pulpy centers of teeth, and discolored blotches on skin. It is often found on corpses left in iron-rich environments. Vivianite has been found on adipocere, the waxy gunk occasionally produced as fat-filled flesh breaks down under cold and wet conditions.
