10btidir ((CAVANSITE, STILBITE)), $25 MINIMUM BID, Waholi District, Pune, Maharashtra, India, 8 x 7 x 4 cm, Cabinet | |
Here is the blue mineral Cavansite on a matrix with a Stilbite druze and and few larger crystals. There are 4 spherical acicular clusters of Cavansite to 1.2 cm and other single blue needle like crystals of Cavansite spread over the specimens matrix. This is normally a $50 wholesale specimen buying them from an Indian dealer by the flat. Toward the end of the Tucson show perhaps from an Indian dealer not doing that well, I was able to pick up a flat at half price to have some bargains for the auction. BLUE is not quite as vivid as photo. |
