Apophyllite Cavansite Flouroapophyllite Heulandite Okenite Prehnite Scolecite Stilbite
 |
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.
