Morganite Gemstone & Information

Gemopedia™

Morganite is the pretty, peachy-pink variety of beryl, cousin to more familiar beryl varieties, emerald and aquamarine. Morganite's beautiful, feminine colors are a result of the presence of manganese and iron. After its 1910 discovery in Madagascar, the famous gemologist George F. Kunz proposed to name the gem in honor of financier and gem enthusiast J. P. Morgan. Morganite has many redeeming qualities, including good Mohs hardness, luster, and clarity. The two major sources are Brazil and Madagascar. Stones also come from Afghanistan, China, Mozambique, Namibia, Pakistan, Russia, and the United States. Quality morganite stones in large sizes remain relatively rare.

Morganite is a classification of beryl, sometimes called pink or rose beryl. It displays hues from light pinks to orange and salmon, created by the trace presence of manganese. Most morganite gemstones come from the places mentioned above, but the U.S. was home to a particularly spectacular discovery when the Rose of Maine, a 30-centimeter wide specimen, was found in 1989. Physical properties aside, some believe that wearing morganite jewelry helps to create a sense of peace, joy and inner strength while promoting confidence, power and awareness.
