DESCRIPTION:

Awesome lot of NATURAL Pale to an almost medium Pink and Peachy Pink Morganite from Afghanistan.  I would say most of this material is a cross that lies somewhere between pale and medium Peachy Pink. There are a few pieces in here that look more like they are Goshenite; however, the lot as a whole is distinctly Peachy Pink. This lot is a little light in color but that is more than made up for with the clarity and size of the rough. We would conservatively say that 85%+ of this material is high grade facet rough.

The bulk of this material should support eye-clean or better stones with a little effort and even the included stones in this lot have very gemmy areas capable of producing eye-clean to very slightly included finished stones for the most part. Please note that these are not small pieces and the average weight here is almost 7+ carats!! We don't have too much of this high grade material so don't let someone beat you to this lot! Afghan Morganite is a rare find these days and it is almost always very pale. Take a look around the net and you will see how unbelievable our price on this material really is! PLEASE NOTE: This material was all sold to us as Morganite; however, from our experience, there are 3 smaller than average sized stones in here that look as though they are probably NOT Morganite. That is speculation based on our experience but we just want you to be aware of it. Don't let the etched exterior fool you as the bulk of this is medium to high grade facet rough and we are confident that you will get some killer stones out of this lot with little effort.

COOL FACTS:
  1. In Afghanistan Morganite is almost always classified by crystal structure and not so much by color. This is why you will occasionally see some light Aqua colored stones in Afghan Morganite lots.

  2. There is only a limited amount of Afghan Morganite produced every year and annual production has been steadily decreasing.
