Cavansite, Stilbite

Cavansite is a rare, vibrant blue mineral almost exclusively found at the Wagholi Quarry in Pune, India, with its intense colour making it instantly recognizable and highly valued. This specimen features radiant clusters of transparent, needle-like cavansite crystals in electric blue, contrasting beautifully with pearly, snow-white stilbite on a layer of heulandite over a basalt matrix. As future mining at Wagholi faces uncertainty due modern development, quality cavansite specimens like this one become increasingly precious, capturing the quintessential beauty and rarity of this locality’s mineral offerings.
