Item Description
A choice cavansite miniature, that displays phenomenally with that intergrown cluster and striking, isolated ball of cavansite on the sparkly, 3-dimensional stlbite-covered basalt matrix. The cluster is 1.9 x 1.3 cm and the ball is 1.0 cm. The color, both hue and saturation of intensity, is top class. Very nearly pristine, with only very trivial, out of sight periphery wear to the backside of the cluster. This is a very fine miniature, NOT a common level at all. It displays beautifully from three sides. Ex Herb Obodda dealer stock. Herb valued this at $250, five or more years ago. Valued today at $300-500.
