Item Description
Cabinet matrix morganite specimens of this outstanding quality with two large crystals are few and far between from Pech. The gemmy, tabular crystals have pretty light pink color and are all there. The larger crystal is 4.4 cm x 3.7cm and has a lightly frosted face and some internal crazing. The smaller crystal is 4.2 x 3.5 x 1.7 cm and has a gemmier interior with water-clear C-axis faces. The mounded matrix of bladed cleavelandite is a superb compliment. The piece displays beautifully and dramatically, as you can see. Comes with an engraved lucite base valued at $125, for free. Very fairly valued at $2500.
