This listing from The Natural Gemstone Company presents a transparent 1.10 carat round greenish blue aquamarine, with exact dimensions of 6.52 by 6.46 by 4.77 millimeters. The stone is faceted in a mixed brilliant cut, offering a balanced combination of table and crown facets with pavilion facets that enhance brilliance and light return. Clarity is graded as eye clean, evaluated at eye level, and the color displays a light intensity that is consistent and attractive for aquamarine. The surface displays an excellent polish, and there has been no enhancement applied to this specimen. The origin is Brazil, a region noted for producing well formed aquamarine crystals with pleasing color and clarity characteristics.
Aquamarine belongs to the beryl family and rates approximately 7.5 to 8 on the Mohs hardness scale, providing significant resistance to scratch and abrasion in everyday wear. Combined with the eye clean clarity and excellent polish of this specific stone, these attributes contribute to a durable profile that is well suited for daily wear in rings, pendants, bracelets, and earrings. The mixed brilliant cut helps distribute light and minimize visible wear on facet junctions, and the absence of treatments reduces concerns about stability under routine handling. While aquamarine is robust against surface scratching, care should be taken to avoid sharp impacts and heavy knocks that could exploit beryl cleavage. For secure everyday use, settings that protect the girdle and crown, such as bezel settings or low profile prong settings, are recommended.
Routine maintenance is straightforward, warm soapy water and a soft brush are effective for cleaning, and professional inspection of the setting at regular intervals will help maintain security in daily use. Avoid prolonged exposure to harsh chemicals and extreme heat, and remove jewelry during activities that risk strong mechanical impact. Taken together, the material properties, the clean internal structure, the excellent polish, and the uncompromised natural state of this Brazilian aquamarine make it an excellent candidate for practical, enduring jewelry.
