Morganite Round Cabochon

The pale peach-pink color, unique inclusions and durability of this morganite cabochon make it an ideal complement to a wide variety of jewelry styles. The color of the gemstone pairs beautifully with rose gold and looks great in white gold; set it alone in a simple setting, in pairs or clusters of morganite or in combination with gemstones in complementary colors. Morganite, a member of the beryl family, owes its color to the presence of manganese (or cesium) in the gemstone. The color of the gemstones may range from rose pink to purplish-pink to peach—even to an orange-pink. Morganite gemstones tend to be free of inclusions and very clear. A cabochon is a gemstone that has been cut and shaped to have a smooth, rounded surface and a flat back; the upper surface is polished to a high shine.
