Sharp, isolated crystals of Melanite to 8mm in size. This was found at an outcrop a stone's throw away from the Benitoite Gem Mine. Having collected here, I can tell you that this is a great piece, far better than the usual drusy 1-2mm crystals. Large, undamaged,and lustrous crystals. A great addition to a San Benito collection.
