#2) Medium sized cabinet specimen of Crossite with lots of Neptunites and Natrolite. I don't see any Benitoite on this piece but perhaps something is hiding under the natrolite? Measures 4 3/4" x 3 3/4" x 2" and weighs 0.895 pounds. $50.00

#3) Large sized cabinet specimen of Crossite with a ton of showy fluorescent benitoite. The backside of this beauty positively glows even under my wimpy little 3watt UV light. Measures 4" x 3 1/2" x 2" and weighs just shy of 1 pound. $450.00

#4) Large sized cabinet specimen of Crossite with showy fluorescent benitoite. There is probably more buried under the thin natrolite coating. None of the bennies appear whole to me. Measures 4 1/2" x 3 1/2" x 2 1/2" and weighs 1.5 pounds. $350.00

#5) Large cabinet sized specimen of Crossite matrix showing some fluorescent benitoite. For a adventerous collector this piece could make two or three very nice specimens with careful cutting and etching. The natrolite is quite thick and one area has a nice glow beneath it hinting at more possibilities. Measures 6" x 4" x 3" and weighs a touch over 2.5 pounds. $375.00

#6) Large cabinet sized specimen of Crossite matrix showing some fluorescent benitoite. This is one for the fluorescent display, under regular light it looks like just a plain blue-grey rock, but hit it with the shortwave and blammo, out pops the wonderful blue-white glow of the benitoite. Measures 6" x 4" x 2" and weighs 1.5 pounds. $250.00

#7) Large cabinet sized specimen of Crossite matrix showing some fluorescent benitoite plus one lare broken/intergrown crystal. My camera is not very good at closeups but I've done the best I can. Right in the middle of a small pocket this crystal has grown. I believe it is actually several crystals intertwined together. Measures 5" x 4" x 3" and weighs just over 1.5 pounds. $400.00

#8) Here is another medium cabinet sized specimen showing some fluorescent benitoite plus some neptunites. This one also has a thick coating of natrolite across one face and I'd bet that with some careful etching that there are treasures to be found. Measures 4" x 3" x 3" and weighs 1 pounds. $350.00
