Aquamarine
A rare old-timer, this probably dates to the early 1900s and the era when gem miners prospected all over the mountains of San Diego and Riverside for tourmaline and beryl. Bill Larson repatriated it from a European collection where it had been all that time, and it is from an unknown locality in what is today a very developed suburb. The crystal is a little rough on the edges due to solution effects in situ and not to damage from mechanical wear, but it IS complete, and terminated, and shows nicely on display. NOTE I HAVE SHOWN THIS TO PEOPLE FAMILIAR WITH THE SD AREA PEGMATITES AND the consensus is that it is most likely from the Fano/Ware Mine pegmatite, labeled for the nearest larger city at that time.
