Morganite was named to honor the memory of J.P. Morgan, a pioneer in finance who supported the arts and sciences. Morganite is a romantic, warm gem, making it the perfect gift for a significant other or close companion. The gem typically comes in various shades of pastel pink, including rose, peach, salmon, and purplish pink. In 1989, the largest specimen of morganite, called the Rose of Maine, was uncovered in Maine, weighing over 50 pounds!
