Morganite Engagement Rings

How is morganite formed?

Morganite is beryl, a type of mineral formed in igneous and metamorphic rocks by pressure, heat, and chemical reactions. It’s found within granitic pegmatites, which are veins of granite that contain very large crystals and amounts of multiple minerals, including quartz and mica. When the beryl crystals form in the rocks, they undergo a chemical process. Other minerals like manganese and cesium, mix with the beryl, giving it the distinct peach-to-pink color of morganite. The amount of these trace elements in the morganite determines the actual color. The structure of the crystals in the stones gives them pleochroism, which means the color looks different depending on the angle and light.
