Benitoite
Dallas Gem Mine, New Idria District, Diablo Range, San Benito Co., California
5cm x 3.06cm x 2.46cm
Description/Interesting Notes:
A unique example of benitoite from California!!! This specimen consists of a complex crystal of benitoite
prominently perched on matrix!!! The crystal is complete and has a rare hexagonal habit rather than the much more common triangular habit that is
often seen!!! You'll notice the sharp hexagonal face present on the front of the crystal!!! The crystal is prominently perched on the matrix with
sharp faces with complex features and bright luster!!! The crystal has characteristic blue color and some areas of marked gemminess!!! The crystal
exhibits intense fluorescence under SW UV and the fluorescence is intense even under full lighting (as you can
see in one of the pictures)!!! Older material!!!
The pics hardly do it justice!!! Must be seen in person to be fully appreciated!!!
Good luck and be sure to check out my other exciting mineral auctions on ebay!!!
