Location: Wagholi Quarries, Wagholi, Pune District, Maharashtra, India
Size: 1.60 x 1.27 x 0.73 inches
Very nice ball of Pentagonite nestled in the crevasse of this specimen. Bottom is ground flat allowing the specimen to display. While this one is not pristine it is a very good example of the mineral at an unbelievable price.
Pentagonite is a rare silicate mineral that is a dimorph of cavansite. The bright blue makes it a favorite among collectors if and when they can find or afford it. With most of the supply coming from one mining area that is now closed specimens are sure to increase in value. Make sure to get one while they are still available.
