Item Description
Several fine quality individual blades of rich blue Cavansite on Mordenite matrix. The largest Cavansite blades mesaures 1.8 cm across, which for a single crystal of Cavansite, is very good sized. No real damage to the Cavansites, despite a bit of scarring to the matrix, but it's stil a very showy piece of the 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. Priced at $1400.
