SOURCES OF MORGANITE

It was first discovered on an island off the coast of Madagascar in 1910 and was named the “pink beryl”. The gems produced from here continue to set the standards for high quality. It is now mined in many countries such as Afghanistan, China, Mozambique, Namibia, the United States, Russia, Zimbabwe, and significantly in Brazil, and Madagascar.  

GRADING OF THE GEMSTONE QUALITY

Being one of the rarest members of the beryl family, higher-quality crystals are even rarer, making them more valuable and expensive. The quality of Morganite depends on various factors such as its color, cut, clarity, and carat.

CLARITY: Morganite is a type 2 gemstone that classifies the stone to be normally found with few inclusions. It is in general transparent and mostly eye clean. A high-quality morganite has no visible inclusions and is priced higher.

COLOR: The color of morganite is mostly light pink, purplish pink, peach, or orangish pink. It gets its color due to the presence of magnesium or cesium in its crystal structure. But a high-quality morganite and most sought-after Morganites are a strong pink in color.

CUT: Known for its light color, the cut is intended to intensify this light color. Having a poor cleavage requires precision to minimize the cleavage. When cut and polished, it exhibits a lustrous appearance. Morganite is most often cut into rounds ovals, cushions, and pears, as well as trillions, hearts, and briolette.

CARAT: Though rare, Morganites found are mostly larger in size. But high-quality crystals with clarity and good color are found in smaller stones thus making smaller crystals more expensive than much larger Morganite, unlike other crystals where price increases per carat.
