One of my favourite specimens in my collection currently - a fabulous, light pink and partly gemmy Morganite crystal which measures just shy of 3.5 cm across intergrown with a Tourmaline (var. Elbaite) crystal which is green for the most part but its cap turns to greenish blue. I especially love the small radial growth pattern on the backside which I highlighted on the pictures reflecting light on it. The whole assemblage is complete with the pinkish Lepidolite and some white Albite blades.
