Large Benitoite crystals associated with rare Joaquinite and Djurleite from the Benitoite Gem Mine in California. The main Benitoite is 2cm in size. There are several Djurleite crystals present and a single small brown Joaquinite crystal. This is the world's only source for large, gemmy Benitoite and the mine is long closed and these get harder to find and more expensive every year.
