Morganite with Albite ex Obodda

Item Description

This excellent miniature specimen is a glassy, gemmy, transparent to translucent, pretty pink morganite crystal with fine color, perched smartly with bits of cleavelandite. Both faces are sharp and smooth like glass, showing very little of the typical etching one normally sees in morganites from here. As is typical for this locality, edge faces are glassy, etched and frosted. Usually, only one gemmy frontal face shows and these tend to be buried in the matrix, thus making this exceptional for its display position which shows both glassy, clean rear and front faces. You can look right through it! Lastly, the specimen is pristine. An uncommon value for the size and quality. Ex Herb Obodda dealer stock. He valued this at $350, five or more years ago. It is certainly worth more today!
