Benitoite (classic material)

Item Description

Here we have a classic specimen of Benitoite from the now closed Gem Mine in California. These are some of the most recognizable specimens in the world and they are renowned for their quality and beauty. This piece hosts a single, sharp, translucent, trigonal, beautiful blue crystal of Benitoite measuring 1.1 cm across on a layer of white Natrolite on matrix. For the quality and aesthetics, this is a great specimen of this fast-disappearing material. Great shape all around, and worthwhile for any buyer. Buy these pieces while you can, they will continue to vanish from the market since the mine is now defunct.
