This showy specimen features a 7 x 4.5 x 2 cm aquamarine crystal perched on starkly contrasting matrix of crystallized feldspar. It is a large and impressive specimen. The piece is priced very reasonably , I think, because the aqua is repaired (one clean join at its midpoint). If not for the repair, this would easily be a five-figure specimen because of the great clarity and rich blue color of the crystal.

A large, 6.5 cm long, well-formed beryl crystal exhibits good luster, minor translucence and a creamy color. Anhedral quartz is attached to the base of the beryl crystal. This is classic material from a rare, old East Coast locality, seldom seen. Believe it or not, this is what passes for extremely elegant for the material from this locality, and it is in fact colored a blush pale pink in person, in some places. Others might call it a goshenite, but locals definitely call these morganite for that blush. The crystal has one best display angle where it shows a great beryl shape the best. It is , unlike most, not repaired and is well terminated with a medium-lustrous termination that is , again, better than the examples one normally sees from here. Al found this lucky find in an old collection.
