Producing Countries: Most Morganite on the market comes from pegmatite mines in Minas Gerais, Brazil, and Mozambique, Africa. Afghanistan, Namibia, and the US have been minor and inconsistent sources. Although currently only a small producer, the original Madagascar deposit still sets the standard for the best deep magenta-colored material. Mozambique has stood out in the last ten years, with large productions of material in the salmon pink color in the Marupino mine and pur\u00ea pink in the Moiam mine. <\/p>\n

Common Shapes: It is more common to cut them as ovals, rounds, cushions, and drops, as well as trillons, hearts, and briolet. Easy to cut stone, it can also be cut in larger calibrated sizes, pairs and sets of necklaces, earrings, and rings. <\/p>\n

Usual Treatment: Some can be found without treatment. However, most are now treated with irradiation and then heat to improve the color, removing unwanted yellow and brown shades, and making them darker. Heating is done at relatively low temperatures (about 280 \u00b0C). Treatment is stable. <\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
