Item Description
A fine 2.6 cm bladed, spherical aggregate of rich distinctive blue Cavansite with contrasting white Mordenite on matrix. 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. The color is so distinctive, and the material, despite the fact that it's common from India, is exceptionally rare worldwide. Valued at $700 in the inventory.
