Cavansite on Stilbite from India

This rare Cavansite on Stilbite from India specimen is one of the largest and finest plates ever recovered from the now-closed Wagholi Quarries in Pune, India, long celebrated for producing the world’s most striking Cavansites. A a specimen of this size and quality, with this many crystals on it is almost impossible to reproduce.

Featuring a spread of deep royal blue cavansite crystal spheres, this rare specimen displays superb luster and gemmy translucency. The vibrant balls of Cavansite perch atop a contrasting bed of peachy-white Stilbite crystals, creating a one-of-a-kind mineralogical display of aesthetics and contrast in color, texture, and composition.

With the Wagholi mines now permanently closed, Cavansites and combination specimens of this caliber have become increasingly scarce. This Cavansite on Stilbite from India is a true collector’s prize for whomever is lucky enough to grab it.
