MORGANITE

Morganite is the pink to orange-pink variety of beryl, a mineral that includes emerald and aquamarine . Morganite’s subtle color is caused by traces of manganese. Because morganite has distinct pleochroism—pale pink and a deeper bluish pink—it’s necessary to orient the rough carefully for fashioning. Strong color in morganite is rare, and gems usually have to be large to achieve the finest color
