Superb specimen of the TYPE LOCALITY Cavansites from the famous 1973 discoveries at Owyhee Dam. What make this specimen so exceptional are the COMPLETE sparkly balls of Cavansite that are the deepest turquoise blue that you can imagine. These balls, which are an amazing 1-2 mm across, are accented by the lovely 'morning glory' radial growths of the Cavansite.
