On October 7th, 1989, one of the largest specimens of Morganite was discovered in Buckfield, Maine. This gem measured 30cm wide and featured a pinkish-orange color. The 50 pound morganite was eventually separated into smaller pieces with the larger portion acquiring the name “The Rose of Maine,” which now resides in Harvard’s mineral museum.
