Gorgeous Pink Morganite Crystal on Lepidolite and Cleavelandite with Quartz. Pech, Nuristan Province, Afghanistan.
This striking specimen offers a beautiful 4.5 cm Morganite snuggled between crystal clusters of pink Lepidolite and Cleavelandite. The world famous song "La Vie En Rose" by the French chanteuse Edith Piaf is tanslated "Life in Pink" and seems like a very appropriate nickname.
The Morganite is gemmy to translucent with perfect textbook form and glassy crystal faces. There is no damage and the Morganite is complete on all sides. The color could best be described as a soft pastel pink with shades of orange. The Lepidolite clusters are rosy-pink and provide a beautiful contrast.
Measures 18 by 11 by 10.4 cm.
Comes with a custom made, labeled stand.
Estimated Value $14,000 - 17,000.
