1.15 Ct. Morganite from Brazil

This transparent 1.15 carat oval peach morganite from Brazil measures 8.04 x 6.20 x 4.22 mm, and is fashioned with a mixed brilliant cut. Its clarity is graded very slightly included, evaluated at eye level, and its polish is excellent. The color presents as a light peach hue with a delicate, warm tone, and no enhancement has been applied, preserving the natural color and character of the crystal. The mixed brilliant faceting enhances return of light while maintaining a soft, pastel saturation, and the modest depth and proportions provide balanced brilliance for its size. The Natural Gemstone Company documents the Brazilian origin, a source known for producing morganites with refined, peach-leaning tones rather than the stronger pinks found elsewhere.

When compared to morganites from other well-known localities, this Brazilian example reads as lighter and more peach-oriented than many stones from Madagascar, which frequently display a stronger, purer pink saturation and slightly deeper tone. Afghan and Mozambican morganites can exhibit warmer, more salmon or peach-orange tendencies with greater intensity, whereas this Brazilian gem retains a paler, more pastel appearance, offering a subtle and restrained expression of color. Against padparadscha or orangey-pink sapphires from Sri Lanka, which present a brighter, more saturated orange-pink hue and a medium to strong tone, the present morganite remains distinctly softer and less vivid, aligning more closely with pale champagne or blush rather than overt, saturated color. The absence of heat or irradiation treatment further differentiates its natural, light intensity from gems that have been enhanced to achieve deeper saturation.

In practical terms, the stone’s light tone and excellent polish make it well suited for designs that emphasize delicacy and refinement. Its gentle peach will be complemented by rose or yellow gold settings to warm the appearance, or set in white metals and paired with diamonds to accentuate clarity and sparkle without overpowering the subtle color. The very slightly included clarity grade indicates minimal internal features that do not detract from face-up appearance, providing confidence for use in fine jewelry. The Natural Gemstone Company presents this morganite as a representative of Brazil’s contribution to morganite sourcing, valued for its natural, soft peach character and reliable polish and cut quality.
