Beryl (Var: Morganite), Muscovite, Albite

Beryl var. Aquamarine-Morganite crystal on Albite!
Every now and then I come across an Aqua-Morganite so aesthetic and perfect that
I can't resist picking it up for the website. This is the third specimen I've offered in
recent years and it's cute in every way. The 4 cm crystal is perfect, front and back,
and displays good color. It sits aesthetically on the Albite matrix and is balanced by
the right side Albite coated Muscovite. From the Laghman Province, Afghanistan
The entire specimen measures 8 cm by 8 cm in size.
