Care and Cleaning
Morganite is a beryl which means it is part of the same mineral family as emerald and aquamarine. 
 
Morganite is quite a hardy gemstone, with a hardness of 7.5 to 8 and good toughness this gem will resist chips and breakage well but care should always be taken when wearing, storing, putting on or taking off your morganite jewellery as it may still be scratched by harder gemstones. 
 
To prolong the life of the stones we recommend putting on your jewellery after any makeup, hair products, lotions or perfumes 
 
Morganite is relatively resistant to the effects of heat and light but excessive heat can remove the orange colouration in some stones. 
Morganite is usually fine to be ultrasonic and steam cleaned unless it is heavily included (which is rare) or has liquid inclusions. You can also clean your morganite jewellery at home using a gem and jewellery dip or cloth which can be purchased from us, or with warm soapy water and a soft brush. 
 
Some morganites are heat treated to improve their colour and remove any orange colouration. This is a stable treatment unless the stone is exposed to temperatures over 400°C.
