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 more recent crystals are even more rare and interesting as they feature the same pink and blue bi-color, but with much more attractive prismatic crystals. The crystal in this rough and cut set features attractive sharp, crystals with blue Aquamarine terminations on the ends and pale pink Morganite color at the centers of the crystals. 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. The matching "Oval" cabochon cut gem is cleary a piece of the same material (most likely a broken crystal) that was polished to show the unique color combination. A really cool set, and very hard to find in nature. The retail price on this set is $1250.
