Pentagonite
Page 1
Pentagonite is one of my favorite "new" species of the last 30 years and one of
the most beloved from the Deccan Trappe in India. Surely the very finest
Pentagonite specimens in the world occur at Wagholi. Pentagonite is dimorphous
with Cavansite which means that the two species are chemically identical, but
they have different crystal habits. It derives its name from the fact that
textbook crystals are actually five-sided, which is a tremendously rare
occurrence in the mineral world. The intense and unique color of this
species is what attracts collectors. The following specimens are from the new
find from a few months ago, and these specimens seemed to have disappeared from
the market as fast as they arrived. I did see a few dealers with similar
Pentagonites in Tucson, and I was very surprised to see that our pieces are
priced remarkably lower than most specimens of equal size and quality.
