Benitoite is a rare gemstone, and for all practical purposes only comes from a single limited deposit in California. It is a relatively new gemstone, and was first discovered in 1907. Benitoite gemstones have a sapphire-blue color, and can have very good transparency and luster. Due to its rarity and lack of availability, Benitoite can be extremely expensive per carat. Therefore, gemstones of Benitoite are almost always very small, rarely exceeding two carats. Benitoite gemstones are strongly fluorescent, and give off a bright light blue color in shortwave ultraviolet light (black light). Benitoite is not a typical gemstone, and is mostly reserved for collectors and connoisseurs of exquisite gemstone. It is most often cut in round or oval cuts, though it is not usually seen in jewelry items.
