0.84 ct. Benitoite

Color:  Dark Violet-Blue Clarity:  Slightly Included
Origin:  San Benito Co., California Cut:  Rectangular Step
Treatments:  None Measurements:  7.1 x 4mm

A fine larger Benitoite in a relatively scarce shape - a well done rectangular step.  The color is very near the top for the species - there are few darker spots in the gem that actually appear to simply be areas of a deeper color, a kind of gemological freckle.  As we often do, we have tried to show this at its worst in the photo so that you will not be disappointed.  We have also elected to err on the side of caution and give this one a slightly included grade, though again, they buyer will likely be pleasantly surprised.
