Morganite is a pink to peach variety of beryl, distinguished by its pale, candy-like color and glassy to satin luster. It commonly forms prismatic crystals and can display color zoning that adds to its visual appeal. The material often occurs in pegmatites, where it coexists with other beryl varieties and rare earth minerals, producing well-formed crystals in pockets of coarse-grained rock.
