| Those look like sharp gemmy benitoites. Good deal. Do you have any Joaquinite on the piece too? It looks like maybe there may be a few little amber pseudo cubes in the pict.

No as far as I have seen there is only Neptunite with Benitoite on it. Here is closeup of the Benitoite - size of the crystal is about 3-4mm.

Wow Jay! Both of these pieces (the crocoites) are wonderful, just wonderful. I would be honored to own either one. I've tried and tried, but have yet to run across a crocoite of this caliber that is still available. Congratulations!!
And the photos are top notch. I'm still a neophyte when it comes to taking pictures of my rocks. You are well along in that regard.
Keep 'em coming!
Ed

Here is a nice Prehnite on Epidote. The damage to the lower right does not really matter to me. Mother nature is not always perfect. Hehe.
