Benitoite is a fairly rare gemstone whose primary source is a small mine in California. Benitoite has the deep blue color of sapphire and the radiant fire found in diamonds.

Due to its rarity, the benitoite typically sells for $700 per carat and up. Benitoite is seldom found above two carats in size.

When heated, benitoite will sometimes produce an orange color. Orange benitoites usually sell at about twice the price as blue benitoites.
