1.45ct IF Morganite
The pink form of beryl was named Morganite, after the American banker and collector J.P. Morgan. A soft pink to violet, Morganite belongs to the same family as emerald and aquamarine. Like the other beryls, Morganite is quite hard (7.5 to 8 on the Mohs scale) but also rather brittle.
Deposits are found in Afghanistan, Brazil, China, Madagascar, Mozambique, Namibia, Zimbabwe and the USA.
