Summary edit

Description
English: Elbaite
Locality: Tourmaline Queen Mine (MS 6458; Tourmaline Queen No. 3), Tourmaline Queen Mountain (Pala; Queen), Pala District, San Diego County, California, USA (Locality at mindat.org)
Size: 6.3 x 6.1 x 5.5 cm.
This equant, intensely colored crystal is from the famous Blue Cap Pocket of late December, 1972. Only under 100 pieces were found, of any quality. This is a nice, typical example of what would have been the middle quality level of smaller size range from the pocket, which Larson and Swoboda kept for the company locality collection. The blue cap is blue, not gray (as with some crystals from a follow-up find in 1974). Interestingly, the lustrous termination has striations in it, where it grew against a bladed mineral species (cleavelandite, probably). At the time the pocket was found, this respectable sized crystal wasn't so expensive and was sold to noted collector John Sinkankas, from whose collection it was exchanged back to Bill Larson in the late 1990s about 20 years later. Weighs 377 grams. Ex. Pala International/William Larson Collection.
