I have been obsessed with this stone lately. For those who are unfamiliar with it, very rare, blue stone discovered in California about 100 years ago, its the official sate gem but no one here even in CA seems to have heard of it. I have even gone to downtown LA to the jewelery mart where all the trade people are and no one carried it. I have found a few places on line but the samples are very few and far between.
Anyone here one a Benitoite? If so, how happy are you with it, I hear its a lot softer then a sapphire.
I fond this guy selling some but not much of a selection.
