Benitoite, Neptunite and Joaquinite Specimen, (SCab), #bsn12



Here is a beautiful multi Mineral specimen from the one and only Benitoite Gem Mine, originally named the Dallas Mine, in San Benito County, California

This is a great specimen with crystals of benitoite, neptunite and joaquinite within a matrix if bluish green schist and white natrolite. 
The 3 benitoite crystals present (measuring up to 1 cm in diameter) on this specimen are all gemmy and one would easily yield at least a .50 carat stone if cut, but hopefully is will stay as a specimen because gem crystal on matrix have become impossible to find since everyone is removing them for cutting. 
The small neptunite crystals are DT and there are many micro neptunite present sticking their terminations up through the natrolite. Also present is another single locale mineral, joaquinte. Numerous orange crystal present some gemmy, some twinned and some small clusters are all present. 

It measures approx. 5.15 cm x 4.0 cm x 1.64 cm. 
Overall a very special multi mineral specimen from the mine.
