It is the focus for the spell, plus the spell has a permanent duration, so I would have to say yes.

Edit: Nystul's Magic Aura could hide it from Detect Magic and the like, though....

An awesome-five for mentioning Penny Arcade's On the Rain-Slick Precipice of Darkness.

No need to hide it.  I was just curious.  It will work better for my plot that it does detect as magical.
