Morganite (ex Brian Kosnar Collection)

Item Description

A sharp and well-formed Morganite Beryl crystal from the famous locality at Darra-i-Pech (Pech) in Afghanistan. Typically, Morganite is not found in sharp, euhedral crystals, and is truly only known in fine specimens from a handful of world localities. The crystal on this specimen is not 100% complete, but shows the classic hexagonal form, for which Morganite is best known. It has a soft pink color, with decent luster and well-defined crystal faces. Great shape overall, and aesthetically sitting on bladed Albite with black Scholr and accenting minor green Tourmaline on the side. A worthwhile small sized display specimen of this well-known material.
