Description

Light pink morganite in combination with quartz crystals and feldspar. The morganite measures 3 cm in length and 2.5 cm in diameter. With a slightly pink color, the crystal shows a high-gloss termination. The other end of the crystal was on the rock, but is also finely crystallized. The quartz crystals still need attention. The faces show an interesting structure. Sometimes a window growth can be seen, sometimes they are lightly etched. Particularly noticeable is a ring-shaped growth at the base of the tip of the main crystal. All quartz crystals are undamaged and are the most striking on this specimen. The feldspar crystals show a silky sheen with a light ivory color. The specimen stands in the displayed positions without support. A really impressive piece - no visible damage to report! Higher shipping costs due to the higher weight (1050 Gram).
