A stone from many ailments Morganite: healing and magical properties, photos, care tips and who will suit

Morganite is not a precious stone. It is considered to be ornamental. However, its external splendor is quite comparable to the brilliance of a diamond. This gem is quite rare, it is not easy to get it - this is due to the radioactivity of the mineral. However, these difficulties do not stop connoisseurs and collectors.

Morganite is a variety of beryl with a manganese impurity in its composition, which is the reason for the pink color of the crystals. This mineral has been known to mankind since time immemorial. True, different peoples in different periods of time assigned it their own unique names.

Naming history

Today, the international and most widely used name for pink beryl is the term morganite, adopted in the American mineralogical tradition. The stone was named in honor of John Morgan, an industrialist and banker, known mainly for his collection of masterpieces of art, despite the fact that this rich man's main hobby was minerals. His knowledge of gemology was at the level of a degree holder. Morgan donated his truly abundant mineralogical collection to the New York Museum of Natural History.Two years before the death of the banker, the American Association of Minerologists, at the suggestion of one of the employees of the Tiffany Jewelry Concern, John Kunz, assigned the new name “morganite” to pink beryl.

In Russia, this mineral was for a long time called vorobyevite, in memory of the geologist V.I. Vorobyov.

At the end of the last century, minerologists attempted to unify the name of the stone and rename it "pink emerald", but soon abandoned this idea.

A copy of the morganite agglomerate weighing 5 kilograms is kept in the St. Petersburg Museum. But this is not the limit! The Museum of the American State of Maine has a 23-kilogram agglomerate, which was called the "Rose of Maine".

There are developments of morganite not only in Russia (Urals, Transbaikalia) and the USA, but also in Africa and Brazil, which are the main suppliers of jewelry material. A large deposit also exists in Tajikistan.

Physico-chemical characteristics

As mentioned above, morganite is a subspecies of beryl, which is characterized by a pink color, which is formed due to cesium, manganese and lithium impurities in various proportions. The basis of all beryls is the silicate of beryllium and aluminum.

The hardness of the stone on the Mohs scale is estimated at 7.5-9 points. Morganite is characterized by a conchoidal and uneven fracture, as well as absolute transparency or slight turbidity.

The degree of coloration of crystals used in the jewelry industry should be mild. In addition, they must be small in size and emit a radiation level not exceeding the permissible norm, which is about 30 milliroentgens per hour.If the radiation level exceeds the specified indicator, then such specimens cannot even be transported on vehicles that do not have appropriate protection and the "Radiation" label.

Under the influence of ultraviolet rays, morganite tarnishes and loses its color.

But it is impossible to return the former radiance of the stone by X-ray processing due to the content of cesium in the composition of the mineral, which has the property of not only preserving, but also accumulating radiation.

Unfortunately, the more beautiful and rich shade a stone has, the more radioactive component it contains, therefore it is strictly forbidden to wear morganite jewelry on an ongoing basis. Particular attention should be paid to jewelry that is worn on parts of the body located next to the thyroid gland.

From what ailments does it save

Lithotherapists believe that sparrow has a very powerful healing potential, primarily affecting mental health. The owners of pink crystals noted the disappearance of headaches, normalization of sleep and greater energy during waking hours.

Stress and lingering depression? Easily. It is enough to meditate regularly on the mineral for several days, maybe weeks. Of course, it all depends on the severity of the condition.

Morganite is effective for colds. Experts in the field of stone treatment claim that mineral products almost instantly eliminate a runny nose and sore throat. However, this also applies to inflammatory symptoms in other organs, including the genitourinary tract. Pink beryl also has an antispasmodic effect and helps to get rid of muscle pain, neuralgia, alleviate the symptoms of PMS in women.

The facts of the successful use of Vorobyovite in cardiovascular diseases have also been recorded.

True, this statistical sample at this stage cannot be considered representative.

Ancient Buddhist monks believed that morganite cures everything! Modern lithotherapists know something about radiation, and therefore are more careful in their statements.

What is the magical power?

The magical properties of morganite are primarily related to issues of love, family, and home. Pink beryl helps to maintain peace in the family, fidelity, will help restore tenderness and passion between spouses, often fading away in a routine. The amulet will help to look at the partner with a fresh look, with the same trepidation that took place at the initial stages of the relationship, and return everything to normal.

For whom is morganite suitable besides couples on the verge of breaking up? Yes to everyone. Especially for people who are interested in professional and career (and these are slightly different things) growth. The owner of the stone also receives the materialization of the most cherished desires, increased working capacity and gaining interest in learning, becomes more attentive and practical. For women, the bonus is self-confidence and success among members of the opposite sex.

Mineral products contribute to the development of intuition and empathy. The owner of the crystal calculates the intrigues of enemies a hundred steps ahead and trusts himself, gains determination in any struggle, no matter how difficult it may seem at first.

Horoscopic aspect

Astrologically, representatives of water signs have the best compatibility with sparrow. Crayfish, Pisces and Scorpios will squeeze all the power out of the morganite talisman! Those. success will affect all areas of activity.

Even pink beryl is not indifferent to Libra, however, this love is somewhat one-sided - and is reflected only in financial well-being, as well as success in the professional field, self-development. In general, everything related to work.

As for the representatives of the other zodiac categories, a talisman made of radioactive stone will not harm them, but it is unlikely to become something more than an attribute of wealth.

We count money

Pink beryl is not widely represented on the Russian jewelry market. The price of morganite, as a rule, is not the lowest, which is primarily due to the fact that in our catalogs, judging by the not too careful viewing of the photo, morganite is presented in the overwhelming majority of cases in a gold frame and in company with Swarovski crystals.

So, consider a brief price list for the most popular products with a sparrow insert:

• Ring - 4 thousand rubles;
• Pusetas - 3 thousand;
• Pendant - 2.

A faceted light peach African crystal of 3.26 carats will cost the buyer 6.5 thousand.

How to calculate imitation

Often, under the guise of natural morganite, they sell other cheaper minerals, or even glass or plastic.

In the first case, it will not be possible to determine the imitation without examination using special high-precision equipment. Colored quartz, spinel or kunzite usually act as a "pseudomorganite". The last two minerals, by the way, are also by no means cheap.

As for glass or plastic, they weigh much less than natural minerals, and besides, they heat up quite quickly when interacting with the human body.

A separate topic for conversation is artificial morganite, glass crystal.Scientists in the laboratory have created a mineral that is in no way inferior to natural. Its only difference from natural sparrowite is the complete absence of a radioactive component. Accordingly, synthetic pink beryl can be worn on a permanent basis.

But, unfortunately, artificial morganite is deprived of magic and healing qualities.

Care

In care, the stone is not too whimsical. You need to clean it with a soft sponge using fragrance-free soap, rinse it under running water at room temperature. It is forbidden to store sparrow in the same container with any mineral other than rock crystal. It is strictly forbidden to leave a box with a stone in the open sun or near other sources of heat.
