Like many gems found in pegmatites, morganite can form large
crystals. Miners in Brazil have found crystals as large as 22 lbs.
(10 kg). The Smithsonian Institution in Washington, D.C., includes
two faceted gems weighing 236 cts. and 250 cts. in its collection.
Although morganite is rarer than aquamarine, large cut stones are
readily available on today’s market. That’s probably because
morganite hasn’t been promoted to the jewelry-buying public nearly
as widely as aquamarine or emerald. Most of the morganite on the
market comes from pegmatite mines in Minas Gerais, Brazil.
