Description: Capistrano Mining Company Specializing in Benitoite and Montana Missouri River Sapphire, along with U.S. Mined Gemstones and Fine Mineral Specimens from the United States and Worldwide. ----------------------------------------------------------- Benitoite is one of the rarest gemstones on earth. Gemstone quality Benitoite is only found one place, a small area in San Benito County, CA. Benitoite fluoresces a beautiful blue color under shortwave ultra violet light. If it does not fluoresce this bright blue color, then it is not benitoite. ____________________________________ I cannot state this enough, be careful when purchasing any benitoite. Beware of the large Benitoite Gems being sold from India, they are fakes! Due to it's rarity and steep increases in price within the last few years for good quality benitoite gemstones, there are some dealers trying to sell other blue gemstones as benitoite. Be especially cautious when buying benitoite from Thailand and other countries outside of the U.S., or "certified" from these countries. If the stones purchased do turn out to be benitoite, then they rarely live up to their "certification". If you look at the photos of their stones, the photos are always color enhanced, the stones are lesser quality than listed, and the cut of the stones, well let's just say you'll get what you pay for. Remember that anyone can make up a "certificate" on a computer and say that a gemstone is certified. Just always do your research and "Let the Buyer Beware". __________________________________ Matched Pair of Faceted Benitoite Gemstones.42 ctw., 4.0 mm x 3.0 mm, Oval Cut It is not often that I have such a beautiful pair of Benitoite gemstones available for purchase.This is a color / size matched pair of Benitoite Gemstones.
