Item Description
A cute thumbnail of four intergrown benitoite crystals attached to a bit of natrolite and serpentine from the famous Dallas Gem Mine. The crystals have textbook form, classic indigo-blue color, high luster and are partially gemmy. The large 1.5 cm crystal has a white center. A bruised corner on the large crystal and a bit of periphery wear are noted, but are only modest detractions to this nifty benitoite thumbnail. Ex Consie Prince and Dave Stoudt Collections.
