A gorgeous benitoite specimen featuring numerous crystals associated with neptunite on matrix. Wonderfully aesthetic with great composition and multiple display angle possibilities. Equally nice from the reverse, with the large crystal being totally complete. A top-tier benitoite matrix thumbnail. Note this has been stabilized.
