Gemmy Indicolite Tourmaline (Chuck Houser & Kevin Brown Coll.)

Item Description

An outstanding and rare locality tourmaline from one of the hardest to find California locations. This brightly colored blue crystal is gemmy throughout with slight shading to a greenish/blue near the termination. The lower half is a gorgeous, rich indicolite blue. The crystal is simply huge for the location and the largest I"ve seen available out of all the California collections I have handled. Ex Chuck Houser and Kevin Brown Collections. Chuck obtained it directly when found, in the early 1980s. Valued at $1000. A must for the locality or species collector.
