Large impressive specimen of light pink Beryl, variety morganite. 

Berylium averages about 3ppm in the Earth's crust. But in pegmatites it is relatively common in lithium-cesium-tantalum (LCT) pegmatites. It is one of the first to crystallize and can be found in just about any zome in zoned pegmatites.
