Excellent Benitoite (David Burgess Coll.)

Item Description

A otherworldly sculptural small cabinet of a dramatically set pair of large benitoite crystals from the famous Dallas Gem Mine - the Type Locality. The textbook hexagonal flattened pyramidal sapphire-blue crystals, to a large 2.9 cm, are amazingly set on the contrasting serpentine matrix. While not gemmy, this remains an outstanding benitoite specimen with superlative architecture. Ghostly white fluorescence. Exceptional benitoite from the David Burgess Collection.
