Morganite is a splendid stone belonging to the beryl family. Moreover, at the beginning of its discovery, it was called “pink beryl”.

It seems that this stone was recently discovered either in 1902 in California or in 1911 in Madagascar. No legend or myth evokes this fabulous stone.

In fact, George Frederick Kunz, American mineralogist (1856 - 1932) gave the name morganite to this pink beryl. He is one of the founders of the carat unit for precious stones. He chose this name to honor his boss and friend, banker and great mineral collector, John Pierpont Morgan.

Highly appreciated, morganites symbolize love and passion. Currently in the British Museum in London is a magnificent specimen of morganite, weighing approximately 600 carats, from Madagascar. In a splendid color, it has been cut in the shape of a cushion. At the same time, it is possible to admire magnificent pieces of 235 or 250 carats at the Smithson Institute in the United States.

The largest morganites were discovered in Brazil in 1968. Their presence was indicated by a 3 mx 9 m geode. For the record, a geode is a rock cavity lined with crystals and various mineral materials.

Morganite is a beryl with a transparent to translucent appearance, just like aquamarine or emerald. It owes its magnificent color to the presence of manganese. Its shades can vary from pink to peach or magnolia.

Its color is enriched in cesium and varies depending on the angle of the light passing through it. It is therefore a gem with excellent pleochroism. The most popular color of morganite remains that called peach blossom.

It has a hexagonal crystal system, which means that it has 6 faces. Its hardness is 7.5 to 8 on the Mohs scale. For comparison, diamond has the highest hardness, 10 on this same scale. This type of stone is located in the pegmatite parts (magmatic rock with large crystals) of metamorphic rocks.
