Unique blue-capped tourmaline from one of the newer California pegmatites. Collected in April 2001, this tourmaline was purchased prior to the lot being shown around. The crystal is still the only good blue-cap I've seen from the location. The body of the crystal is a nice pink color, gemmy in a few areas, with the termination being blue. The cap has been reinforced, not repaired. Roland Reed Mined it, sold it to Cal Graeber, who sold it to Kevin all within days of it being found. Ex. Kevin Brown collection.
