Morganite was first discovered by miners in Madagascar in 1910. Originally, it was called rose beryl until George Kunz proposed the name “Morganite” at a meeting of the New York Academy of Sciences on December 5, 1910. He wanted to honor his friend, customer, and gem enthusiast, J.P. Morgan.
Morganite is the ideal alternative for diamonds. The pretty, peachy-pink variety of color make it a favorite rare-semi-precious stone for millennials. The younger generation can’t resist the attention-getting, universally-flattering, chic colors. Morganite has become the calling card for today’s self-confident woman.
While very stunning, morganite is more vulnerable to chipping and breakage than a diamond. You’ll want to put your Morganite in a setting that provides more protection. The bezel setting offers the best security and protection from scratches.
For Millennials today, who want more meaning in their jewelry, Morganite represents divine love. Bringing energies of promise, healing, compassion, and assurance to anyone who is in love or in a relationship. Today we need more positive energy to heal and cleanse us from our stress and anxieties… and Morganite is a perfect stone for any woman looking for a little more self-assurace.
