Origin & story
Morganite is the peach-to-pink variety of beryl, named for the financier J. P. Morgan. Its gentle, romantic colour and glassy clarity have made it a modern favourite.
African deposits yield morganite in fine, large crystals. SOMSTONE assesses each for the delicacy of its colour and the clarity that lets its blush light shine.
