In 1911 it was decided that the stone deserved a name of its own and was given the name Morganite in honour of John Pierpoint Morgan who was a great admirer and collector of gemstones.

Sadly, the Madagascar mines have dwindling yields, but the pink gems they do yield still set the standard for the highest quality.
