Morganite-Quartz from Afghanistan, housed in a private collection slab, 450 g.

AI-assisted summary

Description from the seller

This specimen is fit for the world's finest collections, an exceptionally colored morganite gem, embedded in a stunning quartz slab. An absolute rarity in its formation, but also of superb quality.
Beryl is a mineral with the formula Be3Al2(Si6O18) belonging to the eponymous group. Do not confuse it with chrysoberyl, so named for its golden yellow color (from Greek χρυσός, gold), which is a beryllium aluminate but belongs to the spinel group, and its most well-known varieties are alexandrite and cymophane.
