Wavellite, a rare and exquisite aluminum phosphate mineral, holds a distinguished place as a precious and highly valuable gem due to its unique charm and scarcity. Its mesmerizing green to yellowish-green spherical clusters, often displaying a radiant, fan-like crystal structure, form in select environments such as phosphate-rich sedimentary rocks, with prime specimens hailing from locales like Arkansas, USA, and Cornwall, England. Coveted by collectors for its delicate translucence and intricate patterns, top-tier wavellite—especially polished cabochons or scarce faceted stones—fetches premium prices in niche markets. This mineral’s limited occurrence and distinctive visual allure make it a true gemological prize, cherished for its elegance and exclusivity.
