Deep blue gem crystal of indicolite from this rare California location, with a slight green tip. This crystal is beautiful with rich color and a nice glassy luster. A very RARE and must-have California specimen from a small pocket at an extremely small and hard-to-get locality. I personally obtained this from Tim Sherburn, a San Diego collector who himself had obtained it directly from John Sinkankas. Ex John Sinkankas (self-collected in 1956) and Kevin Brown collections. NOTE: HAS SINKANKAS LABEL
