Item Description
An elongate vug in large sculptural serpentine matrix is lined with snow-white natrolite and scattered and clustered partially gemmy, sapphire-blue benitoite crystals. The benitoites reach 1.2 cm and scattered tiny, ultra-rare orange joaquinites (Type Locality) are a very nice accent. Ghostly white fluorescence to the benitoites. Classic and excellent large material for the locale.
