Pink Morganite Cushion Faceted Stone

This cushion-cut faceted morganite displays a pale pink color. The clarity and durability make it an ideal complement to a wide variety of jewelry styles. The color of the gemstone pairs well with both white metals and rose 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. The cushion cut is a classic style; it combines features of the oval cut with a deep cut and large facets.
