WHY CHOOSE THE MORGANITE GEMSTONE?

Discover The Enchanting Morganite

In 1910, a pink beryl was discovered in Madagascar, off the Southeastern coast of Africa. The chief gemmologist of Tiffany & Co, George Kunz, had suggested it should be named Morganite, honouring an American financier and avid mineral collector, John Pierpont Morgan.
 
Despite its initial discovery in Madagascar, this location is no longer a major producer of Morganite. Madagascan Morganite set the standards for some of the highest quality Morganites available today. At present, the gemstone industry sources Morganite from The Pegmatite Mines in Brazil, and Afghanistan, Mozambique, Namibia and California.

The Morganite gemstone calls for attention. Morganite colours range from a variety of gorgeous colours. For instance, peach to pink to brown. In addition, the gemstone can possess hints of the colour orange. If the Morganite undergoes heat treatment , its pink colour deepens. The gemstone industry often makes use of heat treatment and accepts this form of enhancement. To clarify, heat treatment classifies as an extension of heating the gemstone from when it was under ground.
 
With a hardness between 7.5 and 8.0 on Mohs scale, Morganite is excellent for jewellery pieces of any type. This is because it is a relatively hard gemstone and can withstand the bustle of daily wear. The gentle colours of Morganite sparkle when set in jewellery pieces.
 
Morganite is symbolic of love, compassion and promise. Therefore, this gemstone makes one of the top options for engagement rings. The unique beauty of Morganite makes it easy to appreciate.
