Imagine a late afternoon in midsummer, where the sun begins its descent, casting a soft, golden glow across the horizon. The sky is a canvas of pastel pinks and peaches, and the air is filled with a gentle breeze that carries the scent of blooming flowers and fresh fruits. This is the essence of morganite’s beauty. Moreover, when peach was announced as 2024’s color of the year, morganite was the perfect gemstone to celebrate it, for its refreshing, beautiful, modest and feminine color. Since then, we have recommended wearing morganite every year!

What is Morganite?

When picking out feminine and precious gemstone jewelry, morganite is the perfect pick! Originally known as pink beryl, morganite is a sister stone to emerald and aquamarine. What makes morganite stand out is its peachy and pink color and glass-like luster. Morganite also sports a Moh’s hardness rating of 7.5 to 8 with a fair toughness, making it safe to wear and resistant to scratching. Additionally, it rarely has inclusions, making it a pretty stone with a clear view inside.

Morganite earns its name from the famous banker and entrepreneur, J.P. Morgan, after its discovery in 1910. Found in various corners of the world, including the United States, some of the largest quantities of morganite come from the Federative Republic of Brazil and the Republic of Madagascar. To top it off, morganite earns its pink and peach color from traces of manganese and iron.
