A great example of a fine Benitoite ‘color line.’ 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, so suites and pairs have always been difficult. 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 nearly colorless. Exquisite set in a rare larger size.
