Benitoite is an extremely rare gemstone, but sometimes when you mine it, you still need to refine it out of the host rock. Here's how! *Please be sure to follow all printed safety regulations.
I have to say though, there are great rocks everywhere, I think you just need to enter the right google search terms. Next time you have a second, search the word "Rockhounding" and your area. see what comes up.
I have been into lapidary over 10 years now and this is the first I've heard of it. Very cool. Should check out Mohawkite next
I wish I lived in California :( so cool
