TRACE & NARRATIVE / 痕跡與敘事
Discovered in Madagascar in 1910. Named by George Frederick Kunz of Tiffany & Co.—the same man who gave his own name to kunzite gave this stone the name of J.P. Morgan.
A member of the beryl family, alongside aquamarine and emerald. Trace manganese produces the pink. The same beryl, but iron makes aquamarine, chromium makes emerald, and manganese makes morganite. One trace element different, and the stone receives an entirely different name and history.
Found in Brazil, Afghanistan, and Mozambique. Likely the only gemstone named after a turn-of-the-century financier.

PSYCHOLOGICAL PROJECTION / 心理投射
Replenishment — Acceptance — Tenderness
For emotional fatigue — specifically the kind that comes from wanting too hard. It teaches the order of operations: receive before you give. Fill the vessel first.
SELECTOR'S NOTE / 選品手記
One question for the person who's given until there was nothing left to give. Where is your own name on your list of priorities? I put this stone on the shelf because I felt there needed to be an object in the room that reminds a person to receive before they give. Order of operations matters.
