Item Description
Three, striking, rose-colored morganite crystals are aesthetically set on 3-dimensional matrix of albite and muscovite. The gemmy, highly lustrous, transparent to translucent, tabular crystals to 3.3 cm have typical, glassy side faces and frosted/etched edge faces. The crystals are pristine. This is an uncommon and beautiful color for morganites from this locale. Ex Herb Obodda dealer stock. Herb valued this piece at $600, five or more years ago. MUCH, MUCH BETTER IN PERSON!!
