Benitoite Crystal Cluster, 15 cts.
Benitoite Gem Mine
San Benito County, California
2.2 cm x 1.8 cm x 1.2 cm
Here is a small but beautiful cluster of inter-grown Benitoite crystals.
They have that beautiful blue coloring with gemmy tips. The crystals are well formed
The faces have mostly matte surfaces, which 99% of all benitoite crystals have.
Edge crystals are not broken or damaged, that is where they contact matrix, so they did not fully form.
The back side also shows contact with matrix.
Front side is very showy. Overall a beautiful specimen.
