One of our favorite suggestions for using morganite tumbles in gemstone décor is to add them to a crystal or glass plate, bowl, vase, or other container. You can layer them or use them to surround figurines or other display pieces, too. With all of the colors and variation available in gemstone tumbles and chips, there is almost always a complementary or accent color that will suit your personal style.

What is Morganite?

Morganite is a gemstone variety of the mineral beryl, the same mineral family as emerald and aquamarine. It is most famous for its lovely pink tones, but can also appear in shades of peach, salmon, and even pale violet. These natural color variations are due to trace elements present during the crystal’s formation, giving each bead a one-of-a-kind look.

Why are These Morganite Tumbles Multicolored?

My research has found that lower quality morganite, not “gem quality”, will show more color variation. If you have any information that is verified that disputes or clarifies this or any information on the website, be sure to share with us here.

About Morganite & UV Reactivity

Morganite, a variety of beryl, typically does not fluoresce under ultraviolet (UV) light. The mineral composition of morganite does not contain the specific trace elements or impurities that would cause it to exhibit fluorescence. While there may be rare instances of certain morganite specimens showing fluorescence due to the presence of trace elements, the majority of morganite pieces do not fluoresce. Interestingly, under X-rays, morganite tends to have deep, dark glow.

Trivia Moment: Did you know that morganite was named after the American banker John Pierpont Morgan in 1911? Learn more about morganite here.

Please Note:

1. Sizes and weights are approximate. Dimension sizes can vary based on the way the rock is formed. We hand measure our pieces on the longest side. Please see the pictures in the listing.
2. The colors may vary due to monitor and lighting differences.
3. Please use your own judgment when allowing children to handle.
4. Not suggested for use in animal habitats or fish tanks.
5. UV Notes: For gemstones, 365nm is the best for UV lighting. Only some specimens illuminate under the other part of this spectrum (370-400nm). This is why some pictures are not as clear for our UV reactive pieces. Our current lights are at 395nm. For home use, the 395nm is less expensive, but in some cases, will need a zoomed beam on the flashlight style UV lights.
