Morganite belongs to the same gemstone family as emerald, aquamarine, golden beryl and bixbite. Among these beryls, Morganite and the raspberry-red Bixbite are the rarest. In fact Bixbite is only found in the state of Utah in the USA. Morganite is not quite as scarce, but still counts as a rare variety.
Some gemstone dealers have called this gemstone "pink emerald." However, it is considered a marketing ploy because Emerald has to be a particular shade & intensity of green beryl to be considered Emerald. Morganite's color can vary soft pink to violet to salmon or peach.
In common with other beryls, Morganite has very good hardness, with a rating of 7.5 to 8 Mohs scale and tends have good clarity.
I fashioned a lovely mounting for this gemstone and accented it with some nice fine silver granules. The ring shank is 6mm wide in a low dome half round wire.
If you love this ring and would like it in a different size, please contact me. I can try and find a similar gemstone to custom make a ring for especially for you. And since gemstones come in all sizes and colors I can make this setting with a gemstone of your choice. Price will vary according to the actual gemstone chosen for your ring.
I ship next day USPS Priority Mail, price includes insurance and a small, violet satin gift pouch.
