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.’ With the emphasis on producing the largest stones possible (common for such a rare material), calibrated stones were never a top priority among the producers of these. 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 calibrated set for easy use in jewelry. 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. These look great in a set like this. Great look for the cost.
