9.32 ct Pink Morganite - Oval

At 9.32 carats, this morganite from Brazil carries its pink color through an oval cut, measuring 16.3 x 12.7 x 8.6 mm.

Morganite is the pink beryl, colored by manganese, a softer-toned member of the same family that gives us emerald and aquamarine. Brazil has been one of the most prolific colored-gemstone sources in the world for a century, and still turns up new material on a regular basis. Its color was brought up by heat, a legitimate and accepted practice that the trade discloses and we disclose here.

A single natural gemstone with no duplicate behind it; once it is set or collected, there is no other. It will outlast everyone who owns it, which is most of what an heirloom really is. Hand-selected and filmed by Caveman Gems in good light, shown as honestly as a screen allows.
