Benitoite with Neptunite
Benitoite Gem Mine
San Benito County, California
3.7 cm x 3.0 cm x 1.9 cm
Here is a smaller but beautiful specimen of benitoite and neptunite crystals.
This specimen comes from the only place in the world, these 2 rare minerals can be found together.
The small benitoite crystals have that beautiful blue coloring.
They formed next to and on some well terminated neptunite crystals.
The coloring of the crystals along with the white natrolite among the matrix,
give a nice contrast of colors.
Overall a really nice miniature specimen.
