Morganite is a beautiful pink-to-peach variety of beryl, the same mineral family that includes emerald and aquamarine.

Its delicate blush tones offer a romantic, sophisticated look that pairs beautifully with yellow gold, white gold and rose gold.

[TG_PRICE]
The price of Morganite depends on its colour, clarity, size, cut, transparency and any treatments. Stones with attractive pink or peach hues, good clarity and well-executed cuts may command higher prices. Larger gemstones can vary considerably in value, so compare the stone’s actual appearance and disclosed treatments rather than relying on carat weight alone. Ask the seller whether the gemstone is natural and whether any treatments have been applied.

[TG_CARE]
Clean Morganite with lukewarm water, a little mild soap and a soft brush or cloth. Rinse thoroughly and dry gently after cleaning. Avoid harsh chemicals, sudden temperature changes and hard impacts. Although Morganite is relatively hard, it can still chip or scratch under unfavourable conditions. Store it separately from harder gemstones to reduce the risk of scratches. For valuable jewellery, consult a professional jeweller before using ultrasonic or steam cleaners, especially if the stone has inclusions or has been treated.
