An unusual small-cabinet specimen featuring a large, spherical rosette of blue-green cavansite crystals on a white, mordenite-coated matrix from Pune. The rosette is the clear focal point, and its greenish tint sets it apart from the more typical deep blue.
Cavansite is a calcium vanadium silicate, and the Pune district, especially the Wagholi area, is the world's principal source of fine crystals. The soft white mordenite underneath gives the color strong contrast.
Light and compact at 76 g, it is a distinctive example of blue cavansite on mordenite for the collection.
