This is a truly stunning specimen. It is a beautiful cluster of the deepest teal blue that you can imagine - with vivid, almost electric color. The blades are thick, attractive, and very nicely distributed, completely covering a knob of matrix underneath, 360-degrees. This is very RARE to obtain, and the blades here are particularly large. Most often, cavansite forms spherical aggregates, rather than showing off the stereotypical crystal form as we have here. This is truly competition-quality and stands far above the typical cav out there. A terrific small miniature, and even better in person!
