History and lore
In history and lore: Morganite is pink beryl, and Kunz recorded old lore of beryl as a whole: about 1220 Arnoldus Saxo reported that the wearer was 'rendered unconquerable and at the same time amiable.' An old German translation of Thomas de Cantimpre also stated that the beryl brought back the love of married people.
