Item Description
A beautiful, corsage-like plate of intergrown, sprays of gorgeous, lustrous, teal-blue, cavansite blades from the famous Wagholi Quarry. This is an excellent miniature for its own aesthetics and for the crystallography shown: Bladed cavansite of this variety is far less-common, than the cavansite balls. The vivid color of the blades is also way above average for the locale. The piece looks great from several views and the stilbite blades are a nice accent. I have a standing order to buy any from one of my major sources there. Valued $500-700.
