Cavansite

Cavansite is a deep blue hydrous calcium vanadium phyllosilicate mineral. It is polymorphic with the even rarer mineral, Pentagonite. Cavansite is a distinctive mineral. It forms crystal aggregates in the form of balls, up to a couple centimetres in size. Sometimes the balls are coarse enough to allow the individual crystals to be seen.

Cavansite’s beauty and rarity makes it a popular collectors specimen.
