Item Description
A beautiful, sculptural, floater cluster of intergrown balls of gorgeous, lustrous, neon-blue, cavansite blades from the famous Wagholi Quarry. This is an excellent miniature for its own aesthetics and for the crystalography shown: Bladed cavansite in balls 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. This is a stunning, 360-degree specimen. Every turn presents a totally different perspective. Very nearly pristine, with only trivial periphery wear. I have a standing order to buy any from one of my major sources there. Valued $400-500.
