Morganite is probably my most favorite of the gems. I love Rubies and find Tanzanite so very appealing and enchanting. Mandarin Garnet will suck me in at a glance but Morganite resides at the very top of my list. This stone is stunning!

Thanks!

[@andrewclarkehomeimprovement]

I love how when the cut stone is rotating and the three axes are in line, the number of facets multiply, truly amazing work and a beautiful gem.

I got to see this stone in person before it was cut when my fiancée and I visited the shop to get her ring resized. Her ring turned out perfect, and it was an absolute pleasure to chat with Mr. Moriarty about gems and faceting. This stone turned out beautiful!

[@dennisk5818]

My family did a lot of lapidary work, and I had some wonderful times. At one point, I looked into faceting, mostly because of my love of faceted gems. Never did, though and stayed with Opals. This was a wonderful and fascinating process to watch. The cut for this stone gave it life as you looked down into it. I was captured by the varied splashes of light generated by the facet angles of the pavilion. Lastly, the color. I've seen Morganite that are pink. This color is, in my opinion, much more stunning. Thanks for a view into faceting.
