Discover the enchanting world of Morganite with IGI! 💖 Named after financier J.P. Morgan, this 'pink emerald' of the gemstone realm captivates with hues ranging from delicate pinks to warm peaches and soft oranges. Formed in pegmatite veins alongside emeralds and aquamarines, Morganite boasts a durable Mohs hardness of 7.5 to 8, perfect for everyday wear. Imagine a garden of pink roses at dawn—that’s the essence of Morganite. Its romantic blush and warm, peachy tones, infused with manganese, iron, and titanium, make it a favorite for fine jewelry. Less common but equally striking are its orangey variations, adding a unique twist to this gem's allure. With origins in Brazil, Mozambique, Namibia, Afghanistan, and the United States, each locale imparts its distinct color nuances. Heat treatments enhance Morganite's hues, turning peach into vibrant pink, although purists cherish its untreated natural beauty. Whether you're drawn to its symbolic 'gemstone of love' status or its purported stress-relieving properties, Morganite promises to add a touch of elegance and enchantment to your jewelry collection. #IGI #InternationalGemologicalInstitute #Morganite #Morganitejewelry #igiworldwide #gemology
