Undoubtedly, one of FINEST and MOST AESTHETIC cavansite specimens that we have seen. Visually stunning, with the largest, royal-blue cavansite ball beautifully crowning the top with the smaller cavansites below in attendance. The sculptural matrix is richly covered with pearlescent, water-clear to light tan, bladed stilbite crystals. Most cavansites are not on this high of quality stilbite matrix. Pieces of this rare quality and combination came out in the early 1990s, with very few, since.
