Neptunite on Natrolite with Benitoite
Neptunite from this small deposit, now essentially mined out, is literally the world's supply of great specimens. At the termination of the horizonal neptunite, there is a tiny, perfect benitoite perched. This is a totally unique piece that has long been well-known, from both the Minette and then the Halpern collections. It is complete 360 degrees and stunningly elegant - the photos say it all. I consider it one of the finest miniatures of the species. In person, it has a fabulous luster as well. (Minette label included). Comes with a custom lucite base for safe, upright, ideal display. Featured in the book Addicted to Beauty: The Legacy of Jack Halpern (Mineralogical Record, March 2025) on page 29, fig. 7.
