Item Description
A beautiful, gemmy, 1.8 cm, classic pink morganite crystal is jauntily set on undulating pearlescent muscovite matrix. The lustrous crystal has textbook, hexagonal, tabular form. Some faces are water-clear, while others are frosted or etched. All of the crystal faces are glassy. Herb Obodda valued this morganite at $500, more than five years ago. It is worth $600-750 today. MUCH, MUCH BETTER IN PERSON!!
