If you got tricked into thinking these beautiful blue gemstones were sapphires, then let us tell you - that's a common fallacy.ÊBenitoiteÊis a bright blue crystal discovered byÊJames M CouchÊin 1907.
It was mistakenly thought to be blue sapphire due to the similarity in color. This stone derives its color due to the presence of barium titanium cyclosilicate, which forms in low temperature and high-pressure areas such as convergent plate boundaries that are commonly found in the oceanic crust of the earth.ÊBenitoite is known as the state gem ofÊCaliforniaÊas it was originally found inÊSan BenitoÊriver, California. The best quality Benitoites are found here, just as for these ones that we have featured today.
