Wreath-like grouping of Benitoite crystals wrapping across a Natrolite covered matrix. This specimen has striking architecture, large crystals (to 2.2cm), and most importantly, good luster. There is one repair on the large crystal on the top right, but regardless, this is an extraordinary specimen of great beauty and rarity. This mine is closed and there aren't many out there like this!
