Morganite
Pech, Kunar Province, Afghanistan
Cabinet, 11.5 x 12.2 x 8.0 cm
SOLD
A sharp, large, 6.5 x 4.5 x 2.5 cm, hexagonal morganite crystal is here just perched up, totally freestanding, on a huge feldspar crystal; and accented by associated cleavelandite blades. For some reason its hard to photograph - I can simply say its MUCH better in person, and very dramatic because the crystal is complete, gemmy, and very geometric in contrast to its matrix. It is complete and pristine, with just minor etching on the top face only
