Gemmy blue Benitoite crystals on a schist matrix partially coated by white Natrolite. There are two connected larger sized crystals to 2.2cm on edge, along with two smaller Benitoite crystals. Small Joaquinite and Neptunite also present. One of the large crystals is thick with a transparent area estimated to be large enough to cut a .75-carat gemstone. There is additional transparent area in the other larger crystal. High quality and beautiful Benitoite.
