Indicolite on Quartz (M768)
Santa Rosa is famous for this most amazing, intense dark blue color with shades of blue-green! And this crystal shows this color tones in the very best way. Many crystals from Santa Rosa show a very dark color and need strong back-light - this crystal shows a uncommon good translucency. The photo with light background shows the specimen only with daylight, the second image with dark background shows the specimen with moderately backlight.
This sharp terminated, end-pointed and highly lustrous Indiclite is inter-grown to a light, etched Quartz crystal with sparkling faces. Even a single crystal in this dimension and quality would be a great and eye-catching rarity, but on Quartz this is really exceptional and very rare. The crystal shows one almost invisible repair, no significant damages to report.
