0.98 Ct. Aquamarine from Brazil

The 0.98 carat greenish blue aquamarine from The Natural Gemstone Company is a stunning example of both nature's artistry and human craftsmanship. With dimensions measuring 7.67 by 6.17 by 4.23 mm, this transparent oval-shaped gemstone catches the light exquisitely thanks to its mixed brilliant cut. A cut specifically designed to enhance the natural attributes of the stone, a mixed brilliant combines the dynamic sparkle commonly associated with the brilliant cut and the depth potential offered by step cuts. The result is a gemstone that radiates brilliance while still showcasing an entrancing depth within its facets. This delicate balance between brilliance and depth means the gem is able to display a vibrant play of colors as the light travels through its perfectly polished surface.

The aquamarine has a medium color intensity that vividly highlights its greenish blue hues, akin to the legendary Santa Maria aquamarines. Known for their rich color saturation, Santa Maria aquamarines have historically set the benchmark in quality and have been favored by royals and collectors alike. While the color of this gemstone has a more distinct greenish tint, it carries a similar aura of luxury. It bridges the tranquility of blue with the lively vibrance of green, invoking images of pristine tropical waters kissed by sunlight. These unique and subtle variations in color are what make aquamarines so captivating, offering knowledgeable buyers a gemstone with character and personality.

In terms of clarity, the aquamarine has been graded as eye clean. This clarity assures that the stone is free of inclusions and blemishes that are visible to the unaided eye, allowing pure color and light to flow uninterrupted throughout the stone, adding to its overall aesthetic appeal. Such high clarity is not always a common feature in aquamarines, making this gemstone a notable acquisition for serious collectors and connoisseurs of fine gems. Its clarity, when coupled with its compelling color and precise cut, positions this gem among the exquisite ranks of renowned historical gemstones like the Dom Pedro aquamarine. Although the Dom Pedro is celebrated for its massive form and artistic facets, the clarity and presence exhibited by this stunning oval shaped aquamarine are no less mesmerizing, especially for those with an eye for the subtleties of smaller yet equally distinguished pieces.

Crafted from the finest Brazilian origin material, this aquamarine demonstrates the quality synonymous with stones sourced from this part of the world. Brazil has long been heralded as a birthplace for many of the world's most sought-after colored gemstones, and this piece honors that reputation. The combination of exquisite natural origin and masterful faceting supports the stone's status as not merely a decorative item, but a work of art that embodies the pinnacle of gemological standards. The excellent polish ensures that every surface and facet edges stand crisply defined, allowing the gemstone to serve as both a mirror and a refractor of light. The attention to every meticulous detail, from the cutting phases through to the polishing process by our talented artisans at The Natural Gemstone Company, affirms a commitment to delivering only the highest quality treasures to the discerning buyer. This gemstone stands as both a tribute to historical jewel craftsmanship and a modern addition to any esteemed collection.
