Morganite with Tantalite-(Mn) (ex Obodda)

Item Description

A sharp and very well-formed Morganite Beryl crystal from Pakistan. 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 nearly 100% complete, and shows and unusual prismatic form (most Morganite is tabular). It has a soft pink color, with good luster in areas and well-defined crystal faces including some unusual overgrown "stepped" forms on the prism faces. Great shape overall, with an accenting grou of lustrous, striated, Tantalite-(Mn) crystals near the base along with minor Albite, Quartz and Muscovite. A worthwhile miniature sized display specimen of this well-known material. Ex Herb Obodda specimen.
