Item Description
An impressive, large and stout, 5.8 x 4.3 x 3.8 cm, gem morganite crystal is aesthetically set in the sculptural large cleavelandite matrix accented with lepidolite books on this dramatic and excellent specimen from Pech. Most of the crystal faces are frosted, but some are water-clear on this lovely, gem, baby-pink crystal. You don't realize how large the morganite is until you look at the back of the piece. The very nifty see-through trigonal hole is where a tourmaline was dissolved away. Very fine large material from the Herb Obodda dealer stock and valued at $3000-3500. Comes with a custom-made and engraved lucite base valued at $175, for free.
