Morganite was discovered at Pala, California near San Diego in the early 1900’s. In 1910, this exceptional gem was named morganite in honor of J.P.Morgan the millionaire bank tycoon and prominent gem collector. With a hardness of 7.5 on the Mohs scale, morganite is a very durable gem, perfect for or every daywear.
