Benitoite matched pairs of any size have all but disappeared from the market. With the emphasis on producing the largest stones possible (common for such a rare material), pairs 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 pair - a fine, loupe clean and calibrated set for easy use in jewelry. The color is absolutely perfect, just what the market has always wanted in these. Superb cutting and an excellent match as well. Have a look around, sizable accent pairs are just not available.
