1.96 Ct. Morganite from Brazil

This transparent 1.96 carat fancy shape yellowish orange morganite from Brazil is a statement of refined color and cut. The gem measures 8.92 by 10.22 by 5.68 mm, and it has been fashioned as a mixed brilliant cut to maximize both face up presence and internal fire. Its clarity is described as very very slightly included when evaluated at eye level, which means that to the naked eye the stone looks clean and bright. The color intensity is medium light, producing a soft but distinct yellowish orange warmth that is unusually wearable, and the polish has been graded as excellent, giving the surface a mirror like finish that amplifies its internal reflections. This morganite has undergone controlled heat treatment, a common and accepted enhancement that stabilizes and refines its lovely hue, and you can view this gem as an expert selection from The Natural Gemstone Company.

When comparing brilliance, it helps to look beyond raw refractive index numbers and consider how a stone performs in real life under normal lighting, and here this morganite stands out in ways that many more common colored gems do not. The mixed brilliant cut combines a faceting arrangement that produces strong scintillation with broad flashes of light, so while diamonds remain unrivaled for sheer white light return, this morganite offers a different, more sensual kind of brilliance. Its transparent body and very very slightly included clarity let light travel through the pavilion and return in warm flashes that emphasize peachy and honey tones, which is something citrine and most commercial topaz cannot match because they often lack the same level of internal clarity and warm color saturation. Compared with common yellow or champagne sapphires, this morganite displays a softer, more feminine fire, and because of its mixed cut it shows a lively pattern of light and dark facets that dance as the gem moves, creating an appealing contrast between brilliance and color that larger, more deeply colored stones sometimes lose.

Value wise, this morganite offers a compelling proposition when placed beside the usual alternatives like diamond, sapphire, and popular near colorless gemstones. Per carat, morganite remains very affordable relative to traditional choices, so buyers can select a quarried gem with attractive dimensions and an excellent cut without stretching their budget. Because morganite has a lower density than some other gems, the face up size at just under two carats reads generous, showing more visible surface area than a denser stone at the same weight, and that larger apparent size makes it an excellent option for those who want a bold look without the higher price tag. In addition, the medium light yellowish orange tone is a unique niche between peach pink and light orange, which sets it apart from the pastel norms such as kunzite and from the brighter, more saturated citrines. The clarity grade being very very slightly included assures a clean, bright window into the gem, and the excellent polish enhances durability and everyday sparkle, so you receive both aesthetic and practical advantages when choosing this piece from The Natural Gemstone Company.

For jewelry design and everyday wear, this fancy shape morganite has distinct strengths that make it an excellent center stone for rings, pendants, and bespoke settings. The mixed brilliant cut gives a performance similar to that of high quality brilliant stones, with well defined scintillation and lively flashes that look dramatic in motion, while the medium light color preserves versatility, complementing warm metals such as rose and yellow gold, and providing a contemporary contrast to white gold and platinum. Unlike some gemstones that demand specialized care or that are prone to color change or cleavage, morganite is a stable, durable choice when set and worn responsibly, and the standard practice of heat treatment improves color uniformity without compromising integrity. At The Natural Gemstone Company we take care to source stones from reputable origins, and this Brazilian morganite arrives with natural charm and professional cutting that maximize its brilliance and value. If you are comparing stones for brilliance, face up size, clarity, and overall value, this 1.96 carat yellowish orange morganite offers a rare combination of warm glow and engineered sparkle, making it an ideal alternative for those seeking something distinct from the common choices on the market.
