Morganite was first discovered alongside other gems, including Tourmaline and Aquamarine, in Pala, California in the early 20th century. Although this gemstone began its life millions of  years ago, it has only been known and recognised in its own right since this time. It was named after the banker, JP Morgan, who was a great customer of the renowned gemologist George Frederick Kunz. He discovered discovered deposits of Morganite, which was of special interest to him, in Madagascar.

Its depth of colour determines the quality and  value  of  Morganite. Sometimes the gem can be confused with Kunzite, however Kunzite is more of a bluish pink, whilst Morganite is more of an orangey, peach-pink. The clarity value depends on personal preference; there are plenty  of women who prefer a Morganite with small  inclusions, as it gives the appearance of fine silk.
