Item Description
A beautiful, classic, complete-all-around and pristine, tabular morganite crystal. The incredibly glassy, rich pink crystal has water-clear edges and prism faces, with the typical translucent inner core. The embedded albite add character to this fine, two-sided gem crystal. Ex. Herb Obodda dealer stock. Herb Obodda valued this morganite at $400, more than five years ago. It is worth $500-700 today, with the ongoing conflict. MUCH, MUCH BETTER IN PERSON!!
