History and Lore
- Royal Naming: First discovered in Madagascar in 1910, this gem was originally called "pink beryl". It was renamed in honor of the financier and avid gem collector J.P. Morgan by Tiffany & Co. gemologist George F. Kunz. [1, 2, 3]
- "The Rose of Maine": One of the largest morganite specimens ever unearthed was a massive 50-pound (23.5 kg) crystal discovered in Buckfield, Maine, in 1989. [1, 2]
- The Heart Chakra: Metaphysically, light pink morganite is strongly tied to the heart chakra. Crystal healers believe it encourages unconditional love, dissolves ego, and cleanses the mind of stress.
