Morganite & Other Beryls form a refined gemstone family where every variety matters. All share the same structure and strength (Mohs 7.5–8), delivering clean transparency, radiant lustre, and elegant color shaped by trace elements.
Morganite (Mn) glows from blush to peach; first discovered in Madagascar and named after J.P. Morgan, whose personal stone in the American Museum of Natural History remains iconic.
Heliodor / Golden beryl (Fe³⁺) shines in sunny yellow to greenish-gold, famously found in Namibia’s Erongo Mountains and Ukraine’s Volyn region.
Green beryl offers fresh, light green tones—subtle and modern—commonly mined in Brazil and Pakistan.
Goshenite, pure and colorless, was once used in lenses before glass; it reveals beryl’s natural clarity.
Red beryl (bixbite) from the Wah Wah Mountains in Utah is rarer than diamond—Queen Victoria reportedly coveted specimens for their fiery raspberry hue.
Maxixe displays intense cobalt-blue due to radiation; first found in Brazil’s Maxixe mine, its dramatic color is legendary despite fading in light.
Special forms like cat’s eye and zoned beryl add optical effects and unique patterns.
Together, these varieties showcase beryl’s full spectrum—from romantic pinks and solar golds to icy whites, fresh greens, and electric blues—uniting chemistry, geography, rarity, and timeless beauty.
