Morganite (Pink Beryl)
Morganite (Pink Beryl) gemstone, the pink variety of beryl, is named after the famous American banker and gem enthusiast John Pierpont Morgan. The color is usually quite a soft pink without any overtones. The pleochroism is not noticeable. It has glassy luster, like other beryl.
The stones are usually fairly free of inclusions. Sometimes, however, irregular liquid and gaseous inclusions, of very uneven shape, are just visible. Morganite is not a common gem, but specimens are often medium to large.
Morganite was discovered in California in early 1900’s and soon thereafter in Madagascar. It is not easily distinguished from kunzite, pink topaz, and the more attractively coloured pink tourmalines, except, of course, by its physical characteristics.
