An absolutely beautiful perfect round cut Morganite from the famed Urucum Mine in Minas Gerais, Brazil. The Morganite benefits from a custom ‘diamond cut’.My apologies for the poor image which does scant justice to this remarkable gemstone.
Discovered in Madagascar in 1911, this gem was called Pink Beryl until it was renamed by Tiffany’s famous gemologist, George Frederick Kunz, in honor of his benefactor, the New York banker and philanthropist, John Pierpont Morgan.
Morganite is a member of the Beryl mineral family (from the ancient Greek ‘beryllos’, meaning blue-green stone), commonly known as the ‘mother of gemstones’ because of its highly regarded gem varieties.
Pure Beryl is colourless and trace amounts of elements are responsible for producing Beryl’s wonderful colors. Morganite’s attractive pink/peach hues are caused by trace amounts of manganese. Apart from Morganite pinks, other Beryl gemstones include, Aquamarine blues, Bixbite reds, Emerald greens, Golden Beryl yellows, Goshenite whites (colorless), and Heliodor greenish-yellows.
Morganite is a gem that is much in demand. It is a hard and durable stone wth a pastel color that ranges from clear pink to a lovely peach. If it reminds you of the beauty of Emerald, that's not surprising since they are the same mineral.
