Paprok does produce indicolite from time to time. This crystal was mined in the mid to late 1990's. It exhibits a rich blue color to its core. The termination is a light blue color with a simple termination on the primary crystal and complex termination on the integrated side crystal. The two crystals grew together and even bent together, there is an amazing "stripe"/fault line mid-crystal where a shift occurred in the growth line, and it slightly changed its direction of growth. It has a bright luster, and is without damage. It's priced below $12 per gram.
