Description
Long before the California pegmatites had been discovered, the pegmatites of central Connecticut produced the best beryls and tourmalines in the U.S. This beryl var. morganite is doubly terminated, translucent, and a pastel-pink color. The sharp, prismatic morganite measures 8.6 cm in length! The diopside crystal embedded at one end is a really neat accent. There is one long diagonal repair, which is barely visible in the front. When properly displayed, the damaged area on the back side is not visible. Gemmy? NO! Significant? YES! Ex. Dick Schooner and Jarnot Collections. The Jarnots are Connecticut specialists and I obtained this classic, very fine, old-timer in a major trade some years ago.

How this data is collected: Our system continuously monitors mineral listings from authorized dealer partners across the internet. We have explicit permission from all dealers whose listings we track - any dealers who have not provided specific and explicit authorization are NOT listed and NOT tracked by our system. When a previously available listing is marked as sold or removed from sale, we record this as a completed transaction. While we cannot guarantee the exact final sale price (as negotiations may occur), this data represents publicly listed prices for specimens that have transitioned from "for sale" to "sold" status. This provides valuable market insights based on observable listing behavior patterns.
