Abstract In clear, blue, transparent bipyramidal crystals of the rare mineral benitoite, BaTiSi3O9, para magnetic defects have been investigated by electron paramagnetic resonance at room temperature and 9.43 GHz. They are attributed to Sn3+ and Fe3+ . A pair of satellites recorded for a wide angular rage around B0 || c (~40°) and a relative intensity of ~ 13% to the central signal is most likely due to hyperfine interaction with 117Sn and 119Sn isotopes. Attempts to bleach the colour of the crystal were unsuccessful.
