Morganite
FUN FACTS
- Morganite is the official gem of the country of Madagascar
- The stone is never produced synthetically, and thus its rarity makes it very expensive
- Morganite is said to be a good match for those with the Pisces sign, as it is said to do away with a supposed ‘victim-mentality’ that people with this sign are said to gravitate towards
- Although known for its ‘blush’, pinkish color, Morganite is orange when it is located underground; it’s only when it contacts with sunlight that it’s color changes to a more familiar pink

Morganite gets is champagne-like color from the chemical manganese. The stone ranges in color from peach to salmon, rose, and pink.
STORY
Also known as ‘pink beryl’ Morganite derives its name from the famous financier J.P. Morgan. After it was discovered in 1911 in Madagascar, his friend and famous gemologist George Kunz of Tiffany and Co. suggested that the stone be named for Morgan because of his love of gems and for his philanthropic work. Morganite is found around the world mostly in Minas Gerias, Brazil but also in substantial quantities in Afghanistan, and southern Africa. Although the stone can be found in the US in Maine and in California, it only exists here in small quantities.
