Morganite

Morganite belongs to the Beryl gemstone family, the same as Emerald, Aquamarine, Golden Beryl and Bixbite. Among these Beryl’s, Morganite and the raspberry-red Bixbite are the rarest.

Before 2011, morganite was unknown in many jewellery stores. Morganite has increased in popularity due to it's hardness, luster, clarity, and brilliance coupled with a myriad of beautiful pink and peach hues.  This romantic gemstone will be a popular choice for any jewellery designers wishing to incorporate the Pantone colour of the year for 2024, Peach-Fuzz into their designs.

Morganite has also become the second most popular non-diamond gemstone, after sapphire.  The only possible limiting factor impeding its rise in popularity is its scarcity.

Morganite is 7.5-8 on the Mohs scale of hardness
