Aquamarine

This natural, untreated aquamarine, weighing 1.01 ct, was cut from a 6.27 ct rough crystal. Its eye-clean transparency and excellently executed cushion cut lend it a harmonious brilliance and highlight its natural character.

Particularly fascinating is this gemstone’s subtle pleochroism. Depending on the viewing angle, the aquamarine displays different shades of color—ranging from a delicate green to a clear, very light blue. This natural play of colors gives the stone a vibrant radiance and turns every movement into a new visual experience.

The precise faceting harmoniously enhances this shifting play of colors and impressively showcases the crystal’s extraordinary transparency. The result is an aquamarine whose beauty lies not only in its clarity but also in its fascinating optical variety.

From its origins as a carefully selected rough crystal to the finished gemstone, this aquamarine tells the story of a mineral whose character reveals itself anew from every angle. 

The aquamarine comes from southern Africa. The rough stone was sourced for us directly from the source by our partners, inspected by us, and then expertly cut.

⁽*⁾To the best of our knowledge and according to information from our local partners, the gemstone is untreated.

For an additional fee, we'd be happy to arrange for a certificate from an independent gemological institute to be issued for this gemstone.

Images may vary depending on monitor settings. The videos of the stone were recorded without filters or color correction.

The true beauty of a gemstone is only revealed when you hold it in your hand. With every slight movement, the angle of the light, the reflections, and the play of colors change, giving each stone its own unique vibrancy. 

Interesting Facts About Aquamarine

Aquamarine is the blue to bluish-green variety of the mineral beryl. Its color spectrum ranges from a very delicate, pale blue to intense, deep blue hues. Aquamarines with a rich, pure blue color are often referred to in the trade as “Santa Maria aquamarines” and are among the most sought-after examples of this gemstone.

Natural inclusions are characteristic features of a natural gemstone. They can provide clues about its natural origin and help distinguish it from synthetic or imitation materials. At the same time, clarity - along with color, cut, and carat weight - is one of the key factors that determine a gemstone’s quality and value.

High-quality aquamarines also attract the attention of collectors and buyers who view rare colored gemstones as long-term assets. Stones with an intense blue color, high transparency, very good clarity, and an excellent cut are in particularly high demand. Exceptional specimens of this quality are available in limited quantities and have attracted increasing market attention in recent years. However, future performance cannot be predicted and always depends on quality, rarity, and demand.
