Near triple term, 1.8cm Benitoite on matrix with other smaller Benitoites. Although one corner of the main crystal is missing, it displays wonderfully with good blue color and translucency, with cutting quality gem areas in the crystals. This one was etched and purchased from Steve Perry in the early 1990s.
