1.94 Ct. Aquamarine from Ceylon (Sri Lanka)

Introducing an exquisite gem that captures the essence of the ocean and the azure of distant shores: the blue aquamarine brought to you by The Natural Gemstone Company. This particular piece, weighing in at a substantial 1.94 carats, offers both timeless elegance and natural beauty to its holder. Originating from the illustrious lands of Ceylon, now known as Sri Lanka, this aquamarine carries with it the whispers of ancient waves and the venerable legacies of a land rich in history and trappings of luxury. Its dimensions, at 7.96 x 6.84 x 5.06 mm, speak of a compact yet impressive presence, perfectly shaped into a unique asscher - octagon form that captures light in a way few gemstones can replicate.

The allure of this aquamarine lies not only in its resplendent blue hue but also in its meticulous asscher cut. Unlike the common round or oval gems, the asscher cut presents a step-cut with a mesmerizing symmetrical design that draws the eye towards the unique nuances within the stone. As a jewel from The Natural Gemstone Company, it promises an exceptional experience of clarity and shine. Though this aquamarine boasts a very slightly included clarity grade, these minor inclusions are all but invisible to the naked eye, adding character and authenticity, distinguishing it from more commonly found flawless gemstones. This subtlety enhances this five-sided polished gem's overall brilliance, making it a testament to both nature's artistry and human craftsmanship.

In exploring the storied path of aquamarine throughout history, one discovers a stone cherished for centuries by various cultures around the world. Associated with the tranquility and beauty of the sea, it has long held a place in the hearts and on the crowns of noble individuals, its wares enhancing the repositories of kings and queens alike. Unlike the more familiar sapphires and topazes which capture the mainstream's particular fancy, the aquamarine offers a subdued elegance. It emanates a color more serene than a bright topaz and displays a different dimension of clarity than the sapphire, both commonplace in their cherished blue palettes. The aquamarine offers a gentle yet striking hue that stands out because of its cool vibrancy, echoing the crystalline waters with which it shares its shades.

This gemstone's exquisite polish and singular color intensity place it in a league of its own, characterized by the medium but enchanting color intensity that channels the finest coastal blues. This edge captures marvel, offering a meditative calmness reminiscent of serene lagoons or the vast stretches of the peaceful ocean. It is a vision that offers more than meets the eye, serving as a vessel for history and a promise for future stories to be told. Whether worn as an heirloom piece or newfound treasure, this aquamarine's legacy is guaranteed to leave a lasting impression.
