19idcd.t ((CAVANSITE on HEULANDITE)) , TYPE LOCALITY, $5 MINIMUM BID, Owyhee Dam, Malheur County, Oregon, 2 x 1.5 x .7 cm, Thumbnail | |
Cavansite was not discovered in India but in Oregon at the Owyhee Dam. Not a good as the Indian specimen but this is typical of Cavansite from the Type Locality in Oregon mounted in a perky box. Some time later fabulous specimens were discovered in India and very pricey when first found in India. Later when it continued to be found in India, the price came down. Beginning this year rumor is that the India finds were over. If true prices of Indian Cavansite may rise and it should be harder to find with no new specimens. If correct. At least until the next find |
