It was named in 1973, and the name is built from its ingredients: calcium, vanadium and silicon. The original Oregon crystals were tiny.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003eLate in 1973, small blue crystals turned up in a dealer's stock in Pune, India. Within a year cavansite had been found in a basalt quarry at the village of Wagholi near Pune, and the Wagholi quarries soon produced far larger and finer crystals than Oregon ever had. They remain the world's classic source.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003eThe Wagholi crystals grow in gas cavities in the lava flows of the Deccan Traps, one of the largest volcanic provinces on Earth. Vanadium gives cavansite its vivid blue colour.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003eThese pieces are brilliant blue radiating rosettes on matrix.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003eIn crystal traditions, cavansite is associated with intuition and dream work.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eChemical Composition\u003c\/strong\u003e: \u003cspan\u003eCa(V4+O)(Si4O10) · 4H2O\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003e\u003cb\u003eChakra\u003c\/b\u003e: Third Eye, Crown\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003e\u003cb\u003eApproximate Size of 1 Piece\u003c\/b\u003e: 4cm x 2.5cm x 2cm\u003cb\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cb\u003eApproximate Weight of 1 Piece\u003c\/b\u003e: 15g\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eQuantity\u003c\/strong\u003e:\u003cstrong\u003e \u003c\/strong\u003e1pc\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003e\u003cem\u003eWe do our best to buy quality products- although not every rock is the same.
