I just found these benitoite among my collection. At first, I was about to heat treating the colorless benitoite to get an orange one. Unfortunately, I found out that heat treating benitoite is risky as benitoite tend to explode inside the furnace. I was thinking to made them into earning or pendant, but I concern about benitoite's durability. what should i do?
I bet you will ask for pics, I tried my best to capture the dispersion.
