Benitoite
A classic collector’s gem. The popularity of Benitoite has never waned and continues to increase year after year - this despite the difficulty in sourcing finer stones. The single source is long exhausted, though the species remains a sought-after US rarity.

A gorgeous and very dispersive example of this classic collector’s gem. The popularity of Benitoite has never waned and continues to increase year after year - this despite the difficulty in sourcing finer stones. The color and tone on this gem is optimal - the instantly recognizable top color for the species. The cutting is a fantastic and fresh US job - this shape works particularly well with this tone and keeps it lively and bright. There is a single veil which we have tried to showed to the greatest extent in the photos above. It is not a structural issue and is well hidden to the point of the stone appearing nearly eye clean. A great, larger Benitoite that also has a full GIA report.

A simply stunning and essentially perfect matched pair of this classic collector’s gem.The color of this set is the absolute best you could hope for - both in hue and tone; a gorgeous medium dark violetish-blue. Stones are an exceptional match for color and cut. Larger accent pairs like this were rarely a priority when cutting this material and they are doubly rare in today’s market.
