Benitoite matched pairs of any size have all but disappeared from the market; let alone fine suites of matched stones and these great ‘color lines.’ Now that nearly all the rough capable of producing stones of any size is gone, the scarcity is even more noticeable. This is a superb set - fine, eye clean and meant for easy use in jewelry or simply as reference The color range features gem from the very top range for these, a fine medium dark tone down through entirely colorless. Truly colorless gems are quite rare and we never seen many. The added bonus here is that the set contains two orange stones as well - a rare color that results from heating colorless stones. Great look for the cost.
