Benitoite with Neptunite, Natrolite, Joaquinite. 16 pieces totaling over 5.5 pounds. Purchased in the 1980's from the Dallas Gem Mine, now called the California State Gem Mine. Most have visible benitoite and neptunite surface crystals, one also has the more rare golden joaquinite crystals on the surface;

I bought these intending to acid etch them and reveal the crystals inside the matrix and never did it. Three of the smallest ones here were already started when I bought the group. 

Photographed in outdoor light, plus a couple long wave ultraviolet photos. The largest is 3" x 4" x 6.5" and weighs just over 1 pound. Most pieces are in the size range to be most likely to contain internal benitoite crystals according to the mine.

This is an opportunity for a reseller or collector. Please see what these pieces have sold for in the ebay sold listings and Arkenstone auctions.

See me current other listings of rocks, gems, minerals and some rare specimens. Next up is an enormous single stoney benitoite crystal from this same mine.
