Pastel colored gemstones are particularly popular at the moment - especially for engagement rings - and the light tones and excellent durability of Morganite make it an ideal option.
Morganite Colors
Morganite is generally thought to be a pink gemstone but its color can range from very delicate blush colors all the way to a bubblegum pink. In between, we can find lilac, peach, salmon and violet colors but they are all what we would describe as pastel.
The cause of the color is thought to be trace elements of manganese although caesium could also be the reason.
Morganite can change color quite dramatically when turned from one angle to another in a phenomenon known as pleochroism. A skilled craftsman will cut the gemstone so that the Morganite displays its strongest shade of pink from the top.
