An aesthetic cavansite specimen from the Wagholi Quarry of India. A 1.2 cm, royal-blue cavansite ball is beautifully perched atop an upright, 3-dimensional, two-sided matrix covered with tiny, lustrous and colorless stilbite blades. The larger, pearlescent, white stilbite blades (to 1.5 cm), of which two are doubly terminated, are a gorgeous accent on this piece.
