0.84 Ct. Aquamarine from Mozambique

Deep within the heart of mineral-rich Mozambique, millions of years ago, a remarkable journey began that would eventually bring us the exquisite blue aquamarine now offered by The Natural Gemstone Company. Our earth was undergoing monumental geological transformations during this period, as tectonic plates shifted and volcanic activity surged. This tumultuous natural environment set the stage for the birth of one of nature's most captivating creations.

As the earth's crust evolved, fissures were formed that allowed for the penetration of high-temperature hydrothermal fluids, rich in beryllium, iron, and aluminum. These elements percolated through layers of rock, undergoing chemical reactions that would slowly crystallize over millions of years into the beautiful aquamarine gemstones we cherish today. The presence of iron during its formation imparted this aquamarine with its delicate blue hue, a signature feature that distinguishes aquamarine from its beryl cousins such as emeralds and morganites. The stone's exceptional clarity and very light color intensity are a testament to the mostly undisturbed growth it experienced within its mineral matrix.

This particular 0.84 carat aquamarine, expertly faceted into a princess shape measuring 6.05 x 5.99 x 3.78 mm, showcases the skilled craftsmanship that only enhances its inherent beauty. The princess cut boasts sharp lines and multiple facets that maximize the stone's natural sparkle, presenting an elegant yet modern aesthetic sought after by gem connoisseurs. Such precision in cutting not only accentuates the gemstone's visual appeal but also maintains its optimal structural integrity, ensuring that when light enters, it reflects in a dazzling display unmatched by other shapes.

The clarity of this aquamarine is graded as very slightly included when evaluated at eye level, assuring that inclusions are minimal and do not detract from the stone's overall appearance or brilliance. An excellent polish further enhances the aquamarine's reflective properties, allowing it to radiate sophistication with every glance. As guardians of these precious natural treasures, The Natural Gemstone Company takes pride in sourcing the highest quality stones, ensuring that each cut and facet reveals the fascinating story of its geological past.

In selecting this aquamarine, our patrons become part of a timeless narrative that links them to ancient natural processes. It is a beautiful reminder of our planet's dynamic history, skillfully captured within a transparent blue gem. In this aquamarine, elegance meets nature's legacy, crafted meticulously to bring a touch of serenity and unique charm into any fine jewelry collection.
