The translucent precious mineral was named morganite after the American benefactor Morgan. The name of the Russian scientist Vorobyov, who found a deposit of a gem in the Ural Mountains, is immortalized in another name, vorobyevit.

Appearance
The variety of shades is given to the gem by the admixtures of cesium, manganese and lithium. Usually brittle, although the hard mineral is translucent. Transparent specimens are extremely rare. A unique property of balsatin is pleochroism. When the stone is turned in different directions, one remains white, while the other acquires a pink or yellow tint.
