My first purchase from EarthlyIcons. Nice specimen of cavansite perched atop a stilbite-coated Wagholi basalt (this region of massive K-Pg Flood Basalts deserves some research if you’re not already familiar with it). Pricing was very reasonable for the rarity, size, and quality. The seller’s photos and descriptions depicted the relevant details, and size of the specimen, which arrived quickly and carefully packaged. Although difficult to see in my photos, the cavansite yields a deep blueish green UV response that only mildly contrasts the varying shades of blue UV responses of the stilbite to longwave (LW), midwave (MW), and shortwave (SW). Based on the UV responses, the amygdules occupying this basalt’s many vesicles are comprised of a variety of zeolite minerals, including a very nice, tiny heulandite crystal. Happy customer!
