Item Description
A classic, desirable, sharp, gemmy and lustrous, pastel-pink morganite crystal nicely set upright on cleavelandite and quartz matrix from recent finds in Nuristan, Afghanistan. The 4.1 cm morganite has textbook, hexagonal crystal form and is pristine on the front, top and sides. Contacting on the back is out of sight. There are even a few, green, pencil tourmalines on the lower right as a further compliment.
