One of the most interesting and aesthetic (not to mention cost effective!) ways to appreciate Benitoite. Two fine, deep blue crystals set against the white Natrolite matrix look fantastic. What is particularly special about this stone is the largest, angular, Benitoite crystal in the upper corner and the great contrast with the sleek black Neptunite crystals. Looks closely and you will even see some Joaquinite! Large and very bold look - and very difficult to source, not many people do this anymore.
