Locations Found & History:

Benitoite is only found in California. Benitoite was first found in 1906 near the San Benito River in California when a mineral prospector was looking for mercury and copper. They found blue crystals that were thought to be Sapphires but when they were sent to G.D. Louder back at the University of California they were found to be new minerals. They were named Benitoite after the river they were found in. Then, in 1985, Benitoite has named the official gemstone of California.

Rarity, Value & Variations:

Since Benitoite is only found in California, it’s very rare and therefore quite valuable. It’s also very popular because it has a high brilliance with a diamond-like fire and a lovely blue color. Production of this gemstone has ceased since the mine has been exhausted of all Benitoite. So it’s becoming nearly impossible to find a new Benitoite. Stones over one carat are very rare and the largest one ever found was 9 carats. You may be able to find some jewelry with Benitoite in it through specialty shops or online. It can also be pink but blue is the most common color.
