Cavansite Mineral Specimen #1

Electric-blue cavansite in person is unlike almost anything else in the mineral world — and this specimen captures that vivid color beautifully. Delicate radiating crystals form sparkling blue rosettes across a contrasting white zeolite matrix, each cluster catching the light from a slightly different angle.

Cavansite takes its name from its chemistry — calcium, vanadium, and silicate — and it's the vanadium that gives the crystals their unmistakable peacock-blue glow. Sourced from the famous Wagholi quarries near Pune, India, fine cavansite is genuinely scarce, which is why it's so prized by collectors.
