Description
An unusual stone in it's raw form! This cavansite crystal is in it's natural state as found in its' matrix of subtle stilbite crystal clusters. Because of its rich color & relative rarity, cavansite is a sought after collector's mineral. Cavansite is a distinctive mineral. It tends to form crystal aggregates, generally in the form of balls, up to a couple centimeters in size. Sometimes the balls are coarse enough to allow the individual crystals to be seen. Rarely, cavansite forms bowtie shaped aggregates. This specimen has an unusually large crystal. The color of cavansite is distinctive, almost always a rich, bright blue. Discovered in 1967 in Malheur County, Oregon, cavansite is a relatively RARE mineral. It is polymorphic with the even rarer mineral, pentagonite. It is most frequently found in Poona, India. The pendant is 5/8" x 1 1/4" & is 1 3/4" in length with the sterling silver bail. The 18" 1.5 mm sterling silver chain has a sterling silver spring ring clasp. This necklace is shipped gift boxed on a descriptive jewelry card listing gems & metals used. Ice Flower - Natural Rare Frosty Teal Cavansite Crystal in Stilbite Druzy Slice Sterling Silver Necklace
