NICE
FLUORESCENT SPECIMEN!!!
This specimen is an
excellent
example of Benitoite (fl. blue SW) with non-fluorescent crossite and natrolite from the California State Gem Mine, San Benito County, California, USA.  Nice example of this fluorescent species from this locale!  This is a rare locale known as the Gem Mine.
It's out of this world in person!  The first time being offered from my personal collection.
Displays wonderfully.
The size of the specimen is 2-1/2" (6.3 cm) by 1-1/2" (3.8 cm) by 1" (2.5 cm), a small-cabinet matrix benitoite specimen.
Great to add to a competitive display.
Check this and my many other offerings now and in the days to come.  The fluorescent picture(s) are under SW UV light, I am using a Superbright SW lamp.  I apologize for any quality issues with my photographs, I am not a photographer, but a field collector at heart.  The specimens I sell are much better in person, check out my feedbacks!
Do not miss out in adding one of these high quality examples of California fluorescence/mineralogy.
I am an active member of the Fluorescent Mineral Society, PAST UV Waves Editor, and have been a member for over 40+ years.  Although I don't feel that aged.  I know what fellow fluorescent hobbiests are looking for, and will only offer quality here.  I do guarantee my offerings, and as you see in my feedbacks, many buyers tell me how the specimens are better in person.
