Morganite
Morganite, like emerald and aquamarine, is derived from the mineral beryl. Pink Beryl was renamed Morganite in 1911 honour of the banker John Pierpont Morgan who was a very keen gem collector,
Caring for Morganites
It has a hardness of 7.5-8 on the Mohs Scale, Gems with a hardness of 6-7 or greater are quite suitable for rings which are worn occasionally. For a ring like a wedding or engagement ring, intended for everyday wear over a period of years, a hardness rating of 8-10 is recommended. Warm, soapy water is the best method for cleaning morganite. The use of ultrasonic and steam cleaners is not generally recommended, just in case the stone has liquid inclusions or fractures, invisible to the eye.
