Description

Morganite (rough) has a Hexagonal crystal system and is in the mineral class of ring silicates in the beryl family. Its pink coloring comes from lithium and maganese. It forms when a magmatic solution has been sufficiently loaded with beryllium and lithium.

It wasn’t ‘officially’ discovered and named until the 20th century by its namesake, Pierport Morgan, a mineral collector and banker. By its looks, it could be easily confused with Rose Quartz (although Morganite is generally paler in color) or another favorite pink one, Pink Calcite. It can be found in the U.S., Brazil and Russia as well as other locales around the world.

It has been very successfully worn during debates to win the argument while providing its user with an amiable and well mannered approach to the situation.

Much like Rhodochrosite or Rose Quartz, Morganite can attract love, or may be exchanged between lovers to strengthen their relationship.
