A simply stunning and essentially perfect example of this classic collector’s gem. The popularity of Benitoite has never waned and continues to increase year after year - this despite the difficulty in sourcing finer stones. The color of this gem is the absolute best you could hope for - both in hue and tone; a gorgeous medium dark violetish-blue. The gem is loupe clean and the cutting is a fantastic and fresh US job - this shape works particularly well with this tone and keeps it lively and bright. Absolutely nothing to detract. Additionally, this is a rare ‘value’ weight in this material - just 0.05 ct more and it would be 40% more expensive per carat. With full GIA lab report.
