Hi there! I am currently in the market for an engagement ring and I've come across some beautiful options with morganite gemstones. But before making any final decisions, I wanted to ask the community about the durability and strength of morganite. I love the delicate pink color, but I don't want to invest in a stone that might easily become damaged. Can anyone share their experiences with wearing or owning morganite jewelry? Thank you in advance for any insights!

Hi there! I have a morganite engagement ring that I've been wearing for over two years now and it has held up really well. Of course, I do take care of it and try not to wear it during any activities that might put it at risk for damage, such as working out or doing heavy manual labor. But other than that, I wear it daily and it still looks as new as the day I got it. From what I've read, morganite measures 7.5-8 on the Mohs scale of hardness, which is fairly high and comparable to other popular gemstones such as sapphires and rubies. Of course, you should still be cautious and treat it with care, but I personally haven't had any issues with the durability of my morganite engagement ring.
