This is a beautiful benitoite gemstone.
This stone is Very Eye Clean. Using a 10X loupe, a slight inclusion can hardly be seen hidden in the girdle, but cannot be seen with the eye.

This benitoite shows the gems Pleochroism very well, making the stone appear slightly lighter or darker in color depending on the orientation when viewed.
The stone has great life in the sunlight.
Please look at all of the photos. They just cannot properly express the true beauty of this stone.
I guarantee every stone I sell. As with all of my cut stones, if you do not completely love it, contact me within 7 days of receiving the stone, promptly return it to me un-altered and in original packaging and I will issue you a full refund.
All photos are taken at extreme magnification, so that you can see what you are purchasing. Anything on the surface of the stone in the photos is either dust, cotton fibers, or what is known as flea bites.
These cannot be seen with the naked eye.
None of my photos are color enhanced. The colors you see are the true colors.
