Blue Benitoite crystals that contrast well against the white Natrolite. Good crystals on both sides of specimen. I count 8 crystals on front and 7 on the back. The crystals show natural etching. Good blue color. This is is essentially a one locality species and the mine is closed, get your specimen of the California state gem while you can.
