Aquamarine / Morganite (rare bicolor crystal) with Twinned Albite

Item Description

From the find in the Fall of 2004. This is a great rarity for Beryl. A few years ago, 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 crystals are even rarer and more interesting as they feature the same pink and blue bi-color, but with much more attractive prismatic crystals. This small cabinet size specimen hosts a very attractive lustrous, sharp, very well formed, translucent, crystal with a very pale pink color throughout the prism, and a blue termination on the end. The crystal measures 1.2 cm long. This is a great rarity to find prismatic Morganite from any locality, but to find it with a blue cap is just nuts. The quality of this crystal is excellent and the fact that this is prismatic Morganite makes it highly desirable. The matrix comprises twinned Albite coated by small Muscovite blades.
