Benitoite (classic material) (ex Arnaud Collection)

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 sharp, translucent, trigonal, deep blue crystal of Benitoite measuring 1.0 cm across associated on a layer of white Natrolite on matrix. This is a worthwhile specimen of this fast-disappearing material. Great shape all around, and good for any collector. Buy these pieces while you can, they will continue to vanish from the market since the mine is now defunct.
