    Description

    Benitoite gemstones (rejects)
    Benitoite Gem Mine
    San Benito Co., CA, USA
    Up for bid is this nice little lot of round benitoite gemstones. A total weight of 0.29 ct in these 10 gems. These are all "rejects" from the cutting process. They are referred to them as rejects because most are heavily included and/or have a chip on the girdle, which makes them hard  to set into jewelry. Nonetheless these are rare and precious gems that could also be set in a bezel type setting and would be easier to deal with that way. This rare lot of benitoite gems is still very usable in jewelry or to be kept in the rare gem/mineral collection!  Good luck and happy bidding!
    Please take a look at my other gem and mineral auctions for this week and save on combined shipping!
    Winning bidders please wait for invoice before paying on  multiple items won.
