Morganite is part of the ‘beryl’ family of stones. Other beryls include Emerald and Aquamarine. Morganite is also known as ‘rose beryl’ and ‘pink emerald’, personally I rather like the name pink emerald! The name beryl itself is derived from the Latin beryllus. Morganite was first discovered on an island off Madagascar in 1910. The New York Academy of Sciences named the pink variety of Beryl Morganite after the financier J. P Morgan.
As the names rose beryl or pink emerald suggests, Morganite is pink in colour, it can also have apricot or lilac tones.
