This specimen has just the right amount of matrix & features a 1.8 x 1.5 x 2 cm. main crystal & a cascade of smaller crystals down it's center. You won't see me posting too many Cavansite photos. For some reason, I have a very difficult time photographing them. They just won't cooperate with me. This one however, I nailed on the very first photograph. Because of that, this slightly above-average quality Cavansite specimen has a special significance to me.
