Large blue Benitoite crystals and black Neptunite crystals on white Natrolite over schist. Largest Benitoite is 2.3cm and there is another large, thicker crystal 2cm in size. Main crystal has cavernous growth in the center but is undamaged. Even though some of the Neptunites show contacting from growth into the opposing pocket wall, there are some really nice crystals present, including a neat cluster and a perfect, 2cm double-terminated crystal. Large Benitoite crystals!! Recently etched, never before offered for sale.
