One of the biggest trends to emerge at the JCK Las Vegas 2015 (a humongous trade show for jewelry professionals) is Morganite – a beautiful pink stone that was first found in 1910 by an American gemologist George D. Kunz.
Named after the gem enthusiast John Pierpont Morgan, Morganite is an aluminum beryllium silicate ( also called as the pink emerald or pink beryl) and is the perfect stone for women who crave a ‘fairy princess in pink’ wedding. The natural pink to peach color that comes from the presence of manganese makes it a great choice for engagement rings that are absolutely unique. No wonder that etsy is overflowing with pink custom made rings. I am a diamond girl myself but I was looking through a few sites selling morganite jewelry and felt that I could be converted. Navneet Gems and minerals one of the premium suppliers of semiprecious gemstones, cabochons and semiprecious gemstone beads recently conducted a survey on morganite Engagement rings where they found that a majority of women considered it pretty and wanted to be “proposed” with it.
This pink – orange gemstone has been found in Madagascar, Thailand, Brazil, Africa and the USA (Maine). As per GIA, Morganite crystals could be very large, so faceted stones are more common and as with other gemstones, the larger stones are more likely to show strong color. It is said that morganite can help people get in touch with their ‘feminine side’ and could work as the divine connector of hearts in love. Inclusions are also rare and the stone is fairly transparent. For these reason, morganite is considered as a wonderful stone to gift. But the stone is not as hard as diamond and it should be treated with care.
