True Benitoite bi-colors are quite scarce. While color zoning in this species is common, it is extremely difficult to get an straight and even division across the entire face of a stone. Full marks for this example - perfect blue/colorless split right at the center. Quite clean and well cut as well, the rectangle is the cut of choice to showcase the fine color division. Not massive, but quite a scarce thing to find.
