Item Description
A striking intergrown pair of sharp stout morganite crystals from Paprok and the Herb Obodda dealer stock. The rich pink glassy crystals are lustrous and have frosted/etched faces. Most of the crystals are translucent, but there are definitely some gemmy sections. The impressive 3-dimensional piece looks good from three sides and holds a major surprice on the contacted back! There you see a 3.5 cm section of multi-hued olive-green tourmaline with multiple heals. This is a very uncommon morganite form and combination from this locale. Complete all-around and pristine. Valued by Herb at $1300 more than 6 years ago. Today is it worth $1500-1750 for size, form, quality and combination.
