I think you want to know where the system icons are stored.

Navigate to:

/System/Library/CoreServices/CoreTypes.bundle/Contents/Resources

To do that easily, press cmd+shift+G, then enter the directory above and press Go.

You'll find all the system icons in this folder. Look for the one you want.
