What Qualifies a Morganite As Gem Quality?
Being a member of the beryl family, Morganite is hard (8 on Mohs scale) and durable, meaning it has no cleavage and is resistant to breakage. All Morganite should be inclusion-free, like Aquamarine and can occur in large sizes. The dominant color of gem-quality Morganite is usually a variation of pink. A deep shade of pink is very rare in Morganite, and the very best top-grade Morganites don't have the color saturation of other pink gemstones like a gem pink sapphire. Morganites with a strong peach color component are also highly prized.
