Description

Morganite
Minas Gerais
Brazil

This is a bizarre, but gorgeous piece. This "solution crystal" is an aesthetic sculptural display piece which had and interesting growth habit. Water created this curiosity as it flowed through making natural etching and cavities. Because of these intricate formations, the piece displays magnificent color and luster. The hue is a pinky-peach which transitions to light pink near the periphery. The color on this piece is incredible for the type and should make most anyone look twice at this "gemmy" pink Beryl.
