Description/Interesting Notes:
A fantastic example of beryl var. morganite from this classic locale!!! This specimen consists of a complex, partially etched
crystal of morganite in association with a small amount of cleavlandite and lepidolite!!! The crystal has razor-sharp faces with
bright, glassy luster, gemmy clarity, and rich pink color!!! Upon close inspection one can even
see that there is a group of slightly pearly, purplish pink lepidolite included within the morganite!!!
The crystal shows classic tabular form with portion of the crystal being etched and complexly contacted, however the remainder is
razor sharp and quite showy!!! Simply gorgeous in person!!! WAY better than the pics show!!! Classic material!!!
The pics hardly do it justice!!! Must be seen in person to be fully appreciated!!! This specimen is from the collection of Tony Nikischer!!! We just acquired the 6000+ specimen PERSONAL collection of Tony Nikischer
