Benitoite with Neptunite
Benitoite Gem Mine
San Benito County, California
4.24 cm x 2.7 cm x 1.7 cm

Here is a really dramatic looking specimen from this famous mine.
The only place in the world that these 2 minerals can be found together.

The specimen of benitoite and neptunite consists of crystal cluster of both minerals with some matrix.
There are a few well formed and terminated benitoite crystals, 
but most have had growth interruption with the matrix
 and are not fully formed.
The same goes for the neptunite, with high luster faces,
 some crystals growth was interrupted 
A very busy and flashy specimen.
