Item Description

A fascinating and highly unusual combination gem specimen from Pech. You can clearly see, that a beautiful, gem, pretty pink, euhedral morganite crystal has grown around a gemmy to translucent, fine blue aquamarine section. The contacted back shows that the morganite has partially grown over the 3.6 cm section of an opaque dark indicolite-blue to black schorl section and grown against a partially euhedral glassy quartz crystal. A strange, but very nifty combination beryl. 279 grams mass. BETTER IN PERSON!! This is from very old Herb obodda dealer stock that I had cleaned up. It is an unusual specimen which I would think shoudl value $1500-2000
