Cavansite is a rare mineral forming small blue sprays of crystals.  These are  generally found on matrix coated with snow-white, crystallized Stibite. It is only found in a small area of India and is rarely collected due to the scarcity and difficulty of mine access.

Cavansite is a rare hydrated calcium vanadium silicate.   Hence, its name tells something about its chemical make up.  Until 1989, this species was unknown as a fine, collectors specimen when a major find was encountered at the Wagholi quarry.
