Morganite was named to honor American financier and gem enthusiast J.P. Morgan.
Morgan was one of the most important gem collectors in the early 1900s – his collection was partly assembled by Tiffany and company and their chief gemologist, Kunz.
George Kunz proposed the name morganite to honor his friend and customer J.P. Morgan for his financial support for the arts and sciences, and his important gifts of gems to the American Museum of Natural History in New York and to the Museum of Natural History in Paris.
Alongside emerald and aquamarine, morganite is certainly the best-known gemstone from the colorful group of the beryl.
Women the world over love morganite for its fine pink tones which radiate charm, esprit, and tenderness.
This enchanting pink treasure today mainly comes from the deposits in Brazil, Madagascar, Afghanistan and California. Its good hardness of 7.5 to 8 on the Mohs scale is the reason for its excellent wearing qualities.
