What is Morganite?

Morganite is the pink to peach variety of beryl – the same mineral as emerald and aquamarine. Its colour comes from manganese. It was named in 1911 by gemmologist George F. Kunz of Tiffany & Co. in honour of the banker and gem collector J.P. Morgan.

Important sources include Madagascar, Brazil and California. Morganite has become a popular engagement ring stone thanks to its soft colour and good hardness.
