Aquamarine and Morganite (rare bicolor crystals)

Item Description

This is a great rarity for Beryl. Around 2003, I remember seeing some very interesting, rare bi-color crystals of Beryl from Pakistan that were tabular with a pink core and a blue ring surrounding it. These new crystals are even more rare and interesting as they feature the same pink and blue bi-color, but with much more attractive prismatic crystals. This piece features attractive crystals with rich blue Aquamarine terminations on the ends and soft pink Morganite color throughout the rest of the crystals. The crystal group on this specimen measures 2.5 cm and is doubly-terminated to boot! The blue ends of the crystals show a lovely "cat's eye" appearance, while the centers are more translucent. The matrix is composed of Albite and Muscovite. A tiny bit of edge wear on one termination, but still very showy, eye-catching and rare! This is a great rarity to find prismatic Morganite from any locality. Any collector who loves unusual and colorful Beryl crystals should consider this one.
