Item Description
A fine quality radiating aggregate of rich blue Cavansite with Stilbite and Heulandite on matrix. The Cavansite "ball" mesaures 1.2 cm across. There is virtually no damage, and it is a very showy piece of this beautiful and often under appreciated material. It should be noted that 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.
