Item Description

A 3.2 cm, well-placed cluster of highly lustrous, translucent, gorgeous teal-blue, cavansite balls is surrounded by isolated radial sprays of cavansite needles on stilbite matrix on this aesthetic and showy plate. A druse of micro-stilbites on the cavansite cluster adds character. The camera cannot catch the beautiful, intense teal-blue of the cavansite. Excellent combination material from the Ed Bancroft Collection. MUCH, MUCH BETTER IN PERSON!!!
