Morganite is a pale peachy-pink beryl gemstone with exquisite shimmer and a rich history in the gem world. If you can’t get enough of rose gold, the morganite gemstone offers a similar hue with enough sparkle to dazzle any passerby!
You may be more familiar with morganite’s fellow beryl stones, aquamarine and emerald, but this gemstone’s popularity has steadily risen since 2010. Despite its official discovery in 1910, the commercial jewelry market only started to recognize morganite around 2010. Talk about a one-hundred-year slow burn!
Since gaining wider recognition, morganite has taken the market by storm. One 2017 engagement ring study from The Knotshowed that morganite engagement ring gemstones were the second most popular non-diamond choice, only preceded by sapphire.
What makes this romantic gem worthy of a double take? Today, we’ll share the 411 on morganite crystal properties, value, symbolism, and more!
About Morganite Stone
Firstly, is morganite a real gemstone? Absolutely! Morganite is a semi-precious gemstone mostly sold in two shades: peach with a coppery undertone or soft, ballerina pink.
Alternate trade names include “pink beryl,” “rose beryl,” and “pink emerald.” The Federal Trade Commission doesn’t recognize “pink emerald” as a legal trade name, but there’s some history tied to it that we’ll cover later!
Morganite is a zodiac stone for Libra, lovingly encouraging Libra’s focus on balance and relationships. Morganite isn’t a birthstone, but those born in Novembercan wear it as a lovely form of their alternate birthstone, beryl!
Beryl is the traditional 38th wedding anniversary gemstone. This anniversary is the perfect time to celebrate by gifting your partner some morganite earrings!
Mineral Characteristics
Morganite minerals are composed of beryllium, silicon, oxygen, and aluminum, though other elements like manganese, caesium, iron, and lithium are commonly present.
There’s a bit of debate over the source of morganite’s color (the “chromophore” element) being manganese or caesium. Gemological Institute of America (GIA) research from 1955 and 1981 confirmed that caesium is not a beryl chromophore (color-causing element). But, morganite often contains both elements with manganese as the true coloring agent.
Morganite is the second-rarest variety in the beryl family, after Utah’s red beryl, bixbite. Color-wise, rarer deep pink morganite specimens may resemble pezzottaite, but morganite has a lower refractive index, specific gravity, and manganese content.
A 7.5-8 on the Mohs mineral hardness scale, morganite is durable and great for everyday wear.

Why are users outbidding themselves?
When a bid is placed, this is the maximum amount a person is willing to bid for the product. Our system will then automatically bid on behalf of the bidder, incrementally increasing the bid up to the maximum to maintain their position as the highest bidder.
When there is an icon indicating 'Automatic Bid', it means our system is actively placing bids for the bidder based on their maximum bid. This may appear as if bidders are outbidding themselves, but it's simply a result of the system updating the bid to reflect the bidders maximum limit.
