A large combo San Benito Gem Mine specimen, with neptunites to 3 cm and several benitoites, one of which is gemmy and over a centimeter. This is a really showy piece because of the nice white contrast at the top. The sharp little (sub-mm) joaquinites, though, are an extra bonus to those who appreciate them! 10.3 x 6.9 x 6.5
