DESCRIPTION:
This is a nice bright Pink Morganite crystal with a slight Peachy overtone from northern Afghanistan. It is beautifully terminated with some great surface striations visible on certain facets and has excellent luster. There are unfortunately two nicks that prevent this from being perfect; however, the rest of this crystal has nice and sharp edges and there are even traces of the matrix on the base and rear of the crystal indicating that this was not broken when removed. This is a great crystal with very transparent sections and some Cleavelandite on the base.
