Blue Wavellite (Arkansas, USA) | crystal cluster, rare mineral specimen
Wavellite from Arkansas is a classic phosphate mineral best known for its striking radial crystal clusters that form rounded, starburst-like sprays. These aggregates are typically composed of slender, acicular crystals that radiate outward from a central point, giving specimens a highly sculptural appearance. While wavellite is most commonly found in shades of pale yellow, green, olive, and brown, exceptionally rare specimens display vivid blue coloration, making them among the most sought-after examples of the species. With a silky to vitreous luster, Arkansas wavellite forms in aluminum-rich sedimentary rocks, where it develops as a secondary mineral in fractures and cavities. The state is considered the world’s premier locality for wavellite, producing specimens prized by collectors for their well-defined crystal habits, exceptional aesthetics, and, in the rarest cases, their remarkable blue color.
