Morganite Engagement Rings: Meaning, Durability, and Types
Morganite History and Types
Morganite’s peachy-pink hue, resembling the subtle first rays of sunrise, warms the heart and attunes the soul to the vastness of the universe. It is known as a crystal of divine love and cleanses the mind of thoughts that do not support the giving and receiving of love. Morganite is said to cleanse the emotional body of anxiety, stress, and heal old traumas or wounds. It attracts to the wearer an abundance of love.
Morganite was discovered in the early 1900s in California (and soon after discovered in Madagascar as well) and was known as Pink Beryl until 1911 when it was renamed Morganite in honor of financier and gemologist, JP Morgan. Morganite is the pink variety of Beryl; it is colored by manganese or cesium, and forms in masses and prismatic crystals. By nature, it is pastel or pale in color, with a transparent peach-pink hue, but can also occur soft pink, violet-pink, or pale salmon. Unlike emerald (the green variety of the same mineral, Beryl) which tends to have significant inclusions, morganite is usually free of inclusions.

Morganite measures in at 7.5-8 on the Mohs Scale, the universally accepted ranking that measures gemstone hardness (diamonds are the hardest gem at a 10).
