Cavansite

Item Description

This piece features a good quality radiating bladed aggregate of rich blue Cavansite on matrix coated by white Mordenite. Associated rhombs of white Calcite and associated green Prehnite make for a great touch. It's rare to see multiple species associated with Cavansite like this. The entire Cavansite group mesaures 2.3 cm across. Good shape overall, and a nice piece of this beautiful and often under appreciated material. The best Cavansite specimens in the world come from this locality, and if it wasn't for Wagholi, very few people would even recognize Cavansite as a species. These specimens may be plentiful now, but eventually this locality will no longer produce these specimens, and they will become very difficult to find on the market, making them a valuable and worthwhile species for collectors.
