Introducing a captivating gem that embodies both the azure depths of the sea and the cloudless expanse of the sky—the 1.20 carat emerald cut blue aquamarine from The Natural Gemstone Company. Hailing from the rich, gem-bearing soils of Mozambique, this aquamarine exemplifies a harmonious blend of nature's artistry and geological wonders. Celebrated for its medium color intensity, this gemstone exhibits a translucent clarity that has been gently upon with only very slight inclusions noted at eye level. It gleams with a magnificent polish, showcasing the artisan's meticulous dedication to preserving its natural beauty. This captivating 9.41 x 5.38 x 2.88 mm masterpiece is fashioned into an emerald cut, a shape beloved for its elongated elegance and symmetrical precision—a cut that dates back to the late Renaissance and has been cherished by gem connoisseurs for its ability to amplify the allure of a gem's hue.

Comparatively, Mozambique aquamarines showcase a serene blue that is modest yet compelling, reminiscent of the calm Indian Ocean waters near its origin peninsula, in contrast to the striking deep blues traditionally found in Brazilian counterparts. While Brazilian aquamarines often highlight more intense coloration, the Mozambican variant provides an endearing alternative that invites tranquility. It presents a gentle grace that accords with the idyllic hues of the legendary Santa Maria aquamarines from Brazil, yet possesses its distinct clarity and temperance. This nuanced hue is in league with the famed bluish-green tones of aquamarines from Santa Marta, Colombia—a testament to this gem’s sophisticated allure.

The aquamarine's storied history stretches back through time, cherished by ancient civilizations ranging from the Egyptians to the Romans, who believed it was a stone of mermaids and symbols of everlasting youth and happiness. The consistent admiration throughout the ages reflects this gemstone's timeless appeal, which transcends trends and fleeting fashions. This particular piece from The Natural Gemstone Company is a timeless investment for those who appreciate history's continuance, classic designs, and nature's enduring elegance.
