Morganite is also often irradiated to get its color, (meaning heated at high temperatures) which is not a stable environment for this stone. Natural sunlight over time can fade it.  There are other gemstones that come in similar shades of pink and peach, which are harder and more resistant to scratching, such as Tourmalines. ### Morganite on the town. The history of Morganite is a fun one. It's considered a rare, light pink-colored stone that was reportedly discovered on an island off the coast of Madagascar in 1910. Later, and not shockingly, it was named after financier J.P. Morgan. The gemstone's breadth reaches from light pink to various hues of dark purple or peach; many females associate this gemstone with spring and renewal. Morganite is a neutral enough color to accommodate almost any fashion choice and wouldn't make you feel the need to be color matched from head to toe, the way you might be if given a vibrant green emerald. All gemstones have an air of beauty and, Morganite offers a touch of feminine elegance.  As a seasonal accessory or a beautiful birthday gift, Morganites a are nice choice. And if the mood might strike you, don't wait for someone to gift Morganites to you. Bestow upon yourself a lavish pair of **[morganite earrings](https://gittelsonjewelers.com/?s=morganite)** or a necklace to compliment your radiance today. ### Morganite vs. Diamonds Many women, of course, assume that when the time comes, they will be adorning a brilliant diamond, carefully picked out by their loving fiancé - a fair assumption (and we totally agree). Morganite simply wouldn't stand the test of time against traditional diamonds. The hardness of the stone and the process it undergoes to achieve its brilliance are both downfalls of Morganites. Had Morganite been the choice before traditions have been expanded, you may likely never would have received grandma's precious solitaire from the mid 1900's to carry down through your bloodline. Today, tradition can of course, be a four letter word. Though Morganite boasts ironic symbolism, claiming it to inspire and maintain love, this doesn't necessarily make it the perfect engagement ring. After all, considering an engagement ring as a symbol of love is an emotional and symbolic journey that will dictate the rest of your life with someone. An engagement ring is meant to be worn daily for a lifetime and though there are many options to suit your personal taste - none can compare to the timeless class and symbolism of the diamond. Diamonds rank a "10" on Mohs scale, the hardest gemstone on earth, and in a class above hardened steel. Not only does it traditionally and emotionally speak the language of love - your diamond ring will last your family for generations to come. Many couples today, discuss the important life event of marriage, far in advance. Often times, they choose their wedding rings together. And if tradition is not your thing, you may become smitten with the idea of a destination wedding in Cabo, a rustic barn venue, or even an elopement on top of the hill.  When it comes to your engagement rings, seek the consul of your [local professional jeweler](https://gittelsonjewelers.com/diamonds-faq/) and ask their advice. We may recommend alternatives to Morganite, such as Sapphire. In the end, whether you're exploring your options or are bound by tradition, it cant hurt to be completely educated on an investment that is meant to last a lifetime. At Gittleson Jewelers, we've become known as a definitive resource for wedding day diamonds.
