A gemmy blue Benitoite crystal with Neptunite crystals. The benitoite shows 1.2cm from the front, but is part of a lager crystal which can be seen on the backside. Good blue color with areas of transparency. This is is essentially a one locality species and the mine is closed, get your specimen of the California state gem while you can.
