Cavansite Mineral Specimen #3

A vivid blue cavansite that earns a front-row spot in any display case. Its glassy rosettes of electric-blue crystal sit against a light zeolite matrix, and the contrast is striking from across a room — exactly the kind of color that stops people mid-conversation.

Cavansite (calcium-vanadium-silicate) gets its rich blue from vanadium and grows in delicate radiating clusters. The classic source is the Wagholi region of India, where it's recovered in limited quantities, making good specimens a rewarding addition to a serious collection.
