Gemstone Details
Morganite was first discovered commingled with other gemstone
minerals, such as Tourmaline and Kunzite, in the early twentieth century
California. This discovering began a bonanza for these popular
gemstones which in turn drew the attention of George Fredrick Kunz.
Knowing that this gemstone would be quite
rare, George Fredrick Kunz suggested, in 1911, that this pink beryl
be named Morganite, after his biggest customer J.P. Morgan of
Tiffany's. Although the stone has held a certain popularity with
Tiffany's it still remains quite a scarce gemstone although not rare.
Other beryls by color are: goshenite (clear),
emerald (green), aquamarine (teal), heliodor (yellow), and bixbite (red).
