The story: Pink morganite was first identified in Madagascar, in 1910 and known as “pink beryl” (emerald family). Soon after, the famous American gemologist George F. Kunz renamed it in honor of John Pierpont (JP) Morgan, an American banker and passionate collector of precious stones. Since its discovery, morganites have been prized by collectors of precious stones because of its rarity.
