Morganite This is a sister stone to emerald, aquamarine and heliodor….in other words, the beryl family. Morganite is usually seen in very light colors as you see above, but can occur in rare occasions in rather dramatic colors. Named after the famous US gem collector, J.P. Morgan, morganite is the pink to violet variety of beryl. Source: Most important deposits in Brazil, Sri Lank, and US (California).
