18.79 ct. Rare Benitoite on Crossite and Natrolite Matrix with Neptunite and Joaquinite – Collector’s Gem

This exceptional cabochon features rare deep blue benitoite crystals embedded in a matrix of crossite and natrolite, accented by flecks of black neptunite and golden-yellow joaquinite. Measuring 24 x 20mm, this specimen is a rare stone that combines some of the most sought after minerals from California’s legendary benitoite deposits.

Benitoite, known for its high dispersion and celestial blue brilliance, sits within a crossite and natrolite matrix, which amplifies its energy and vibrational purity. The presence of neptunite adds a stabilizing, grounding force, while the rare flecks of joaquinite enhance the stone’s resonance with higher cognitive function and wisdom.

Vibrational testing confirms that this stone emits strong green, blue-green/green-blue, and blue frequencies, promoting higher consciousness, emotional balance, and heightened intuition. This is a remarkable piece for any collector of energy practitioner.
