Item Description
Gemmy sapphire-blue, textbook benitoite crystals and lustrous jet-black neptunite prisms are richly and aesthetically scattered on the snow-white natrolite on this showy and excellent small cabinet from the famous Dallas Gem Mine. The large benitoite and neptunite crystals are both 1.2 cm long. The bit of noted periphery wear to the large benitoite is certainly only a modest detraction to this classic combination. Ghostly white benitoite fluorescence.
