Item Description
A beautiful, classic, complete-all-around, tabular morganite crystal. The incredibly glassy, rich pink crystal has a water-clear prism face, with the typical frosted edges and translucent inner core. The embedded albite on the lower corners, with a bit of contacting, adds character to this fine gem crystal. The out-of-sight back is contacted. Ex Herb Obodda dealer stock. Herb Obodda valued this morganite at $700, more than five years ago. It is worth more today, with the ongoing conflict. MUCH, MUCH BETTER IN PERSON!!
