An aesthetic, large (3 cm!) cluster of highly lustrous, two toned blue cavansite balls on contrasting white matrix. One of the last specimens Al purchased, in the early 90's when cavansite from the now-prodigious new finds in India was just starting to come out. It looks killer from the front, and has great overall aesthetics and color, though it does have a small bit of bruising here and there mostly on the upper surface and the back side 3.8 x 3.5 x 3.2 cm
