Cavansite
Anything like this large specimen of Cavansite on heulandite is going to be extremely difficult to come by. In fact, the Indian government has prohibited blasting in the basalt mines from which these specimens were mined and thus, is no longer allowing for excavation of these minerals at present. Many specimens in circulation were being mined years prior to its closure. Meaning that in regard to the specimen’s from Pune, India or the Daccan Traps, there may not ever be anymore to be mined.
Crystallizing in these stunning rosette formations, cavansite is something you want in your collection! Priced very fairly. Just take a look at sites like e-bay or Etsy (which don’t buy crystals there… China notoriously counterfeits crystals and sells under disguise names)..… Authentic cavansite is one you’ll only find at markets and direct from dealers who organize with the mines in India.
