Morganite on Kunzite on Albite Matrix

Morganite and Kunzite are both beautiful pegmatite minerals that are well sought-after, but a specimen becomes really special when you have two of these minerals together on one matrix: even more so when they're overlapping each other. The tabular Morganite has beautifully modified edges, and a soft pink color that is more of a pure pink than salmon. Below the Morganite is a shiny, striated Kunzite crystal, which has a lovely color gradient from white to light pink. Both of these crystals are arranged nicely on a matrix of albite and slightly smoky quartz, giving the specimen balance. The Morganite has just one small restoration on the edge. This is older material from the 1990s or early 2000s, brought to the market by dealer Herb Obodda.
