Morganite Pink Variety of Beryl
Morganite is classified as the pink variety of the mineral beryl. Its colour is mostly very subtle and rarely perfectly pink.
As with many minerals, when heated the colour can be enhanced. Depending on the type of treatment used a richer more distinctive shade of pink can be produced.
The trade name "peach morganite" is often used to describe Morganite that's not particularly pink. Ironically this is the mineral's natural colour.
Morganite with a stronger more distinctive shade of pink will almost certainly have been heated. This material is sometimes referred to as pink morganite.
The colour of morganite varies from yellowish-orange to peachy-orange to a peachy shade of pink. It can even be a subtle lilac.
The colour of morganite comes from impurities of manganese.
With morganite being a relatively rare variety of beryl the finest grade material is used for gemstones. Stone not deemed to be gemstone grade is used for carving and to produce tumbled stones. That's why these crystals are classed as grade B.
Our morganite crystals are a large size tumbled stones. Size can vary from piece to piece. We've split them into medium and large.
