Morganite

Introduction
 

	When Mother Nature created Morganite she made the ideal gemstone to complement all complexions. Coming in all shades from subtle lavenders to hot fuchsias Morganite exudes feminine charm and tenderness providing the perfect antidote to the stress of modern life.
Legends & Lore
	Morganite, or “Pink Beryl” as it was first termed, was discovered in Madagascar in 1911.

It was Tiffany’s celebrated gemologist, G.F. Kunz who renamed the unique pink gemstone in homage to the distinctive New York banker and his benefactor, John Pierport Morgan.
 

Just the Facts
 

Morganite, member of the Beryl family and sister gem to Aquamarine and Emerald, is colored by trace amounts of manganese that find their way into the Beryl crystal structure.
 

Morganite is found as flat, tabular crystals that resemble rose quartz, but rose quartz’s luster pales next to Morganite’s fire.
 

This hardness, luster and its myriad of beautiful pink hues make Morganite immensely suitable as a Jewelry gemstone suited to everyday wear. The only factor that impedes Morganite’s popularity is its rarity.
