Multiple vibrant benitoites on contrasting natrolite matrix alongside neptunites. Sharp edges and terminations on both species, with the largest focal benitoite measuring in at 2.2 cm. Lustrous faces on both species with the benitoites displaying translucency. A great miniature from the type locality.
