Description
This plate of black Neptunite and blue Benitoite crystals on white Natrolite is really top notch for its price and size range. The Neptunites reach 3 cm in length and are extremely sharp and lustrous. The largest Benitoite measures 1 cm across with good luster and is a complete triply-terminated crystal. In addition, there is a rare, tiny 0.5 mm, brown, Joaquinite crystal in the right center of the specimen.
