This specimen presents several several bright blue benitoite crystals on a contrasting white matrix of natrolite. The larges crystal is quite gemmy and is 1.4cm in size. Several of the crystals are immaculate, and several are broken. The specimen could potentially be trimmed excising the large broken crystal to have it faceted, however I decided to leave it as a whole. A very nice specimen from the collection of Harold E. Eales.
