A gorgeous, 2.8 cm ball of lustrous, royal-blue cavansite blades is set on a starkly contrasting snow-white crust on basalt matrix on this fine specimen from recent finds at the Wagholi Quarry of India. Some people call this type of white crust stilbite and some call it mordenite. We have not had it analyzed. Either way, this is a classic and striking Wagholi cavansite specimen.
