The least frequent gem form of beryl, aside from the extremely uncommon Red Beryl, is called Morganite. Its color tone is often light pink; however, the more desirable stones are those that are deeper pink or have an orange tint. It has been possible to cut quite big perfect crystals of Morganite from the huge transparent crystals of this mineral that have been discovered.
A small pink gemstone known for its faceted gemstone cutting and polished cabochons, moronite. Sometimes heat is used to enhance the color of moronite and get rid of the yellowish undertones. At comparatively low temperatures, Morganite may be heated up.
In addition to being somewhat softer and less translucent than Rose Quartz, Kunzite is also softer. Pink topaz is often a darker shade of pink, although it can be challenging to tell them apart in other ways. Pink Spinel and pink Tourmaline are often darker in hue.
Origins
Brazil, Madagascar, Afghanistan, Pakistan, and the United States are the primary suppliers of Morganite (California, Maine).
In Minas Gerais, Brazil, pegmatite mines provide the majority of the morganite that is sold today. Other modest and erratic suppliers include Afghanistan, Mozambique, Namibia, and the US. The first Madagascar deposit still sets the bar for the greatest material even if it is now only a tiny producer.
