Item Description
A beautiful and impressive, 4.7 cm morganite crystal. The incredibly glassy, rich pink crystal has a water-clear section below the sharp termination faces. Most of the crystal has the typical translucent inner core. The crystal rests in a matrix of massive, pastel-pink morganite and that's a small terminated schorl on the face of the morganite. Ex Herb Obodda dealer stock. Herb Obodda valued this gemmy large morganite at $500, more than five years ago. It is worth $700-900 today, with the ongoing conflict. MUCH, MUCH BETTER IN PERSON!!
