Item Description

A sharp, lustrous, GEMMY, thick, well-formed soft pink Morganite Beryl crystal from Afghanistan Typically, Morganite is not found in sharp, euhedral crystals, and is truly only known in fine specimens from a handful of world localities. The crystal on this specimen is nearly 100% complete, and shows a typical tabular habit. It has good luster on the pinacoid, with superb internal gemminess and well-defined crystal faces. Great shape overall, with accenting Albite and tiny blue-green Tourmalines which make for a good touch. A worthwhile large thumbnail / toenail sized display specimen of this well-known material. Priced at $450.
