1.88 ct Pink Morganite - Pear

At 1.88 carats, this morganite from Nigeria carries its pink color through a pear cut, measuring 9.4 x 7.2 x 5.5 mm.

Morganite is the pink beryl, colored by manganese, a softer-toned member of the same family that gives us emerald and aquamarine. Nigeria's gem fields rose to prominence in the 1990s and remain a significant modern source. It is wholly untreated, its color finished by geology rather than by any furnace or enhancement.

This is a center-stone-grade gemstone with a character of its own, chosen rather than settled for. Hand-selected and photographed by Caveman Gems in good light, shown as honestly as a screen allows.
