1.98 Ct. Blue Aquamarine from Mozambique

This pear shape aquamarine weighs 1.98 carats and measures 11.15 x 7.34 x 4.53 millimeters, yielding a length to width ratio of approximately 1.52 to 1 and a total depth that represents approximately 40.6 percent of the length, proportions that favor an elegant, elongation with balanced light return. The cutting style is faceted with a mixed brilliant design, combining a precisely faceted brilliant crown with a modified pavilion geometry to enhance both scintillation and table facing light. Facet junctions are executed to tight tolerances and symmetry is consistent for a pear outline that centers well when set, while the girdle profile supports secure mounting without excess weight. The clarity is graded very slightly included evaluated at eye level, meaning the stone reads as effectively eye clean in typical viewing conditions, with only minor internal characteristics visible under magnification that do not interrupt transparency or brilliance. Color is medium intensity blue with cool sea tones characteristic of aquamarine from Mozambique, and the material has been heat treated to reduce green overtones and shift the iron related chromophore towards the appealing aquamarine blue that collectors and designers seek. The polish is excellent, producing crisp facet reflections and an even finish across crown and pavilion facets.

From a structural and practical perspective this aquamarine is a durable beryl with a Mohs hardness suitable for everyday jewelry, and the combination of its mixed brilliant faceting and excellent polish ensures that its natural beauty will continue to captivate over the years. The cutting maximizes return of light through the table and pavillion, producing consistent flashes and a calm overall field of blue that remains stable thanks to the permanent nature of the heat enhancement. When set, the pear silhouette flatters ring designs and pendants alike, and careful bezel or prong work at the point and tip will protect the outline while allowing the stone to exhibit its lively internal reflections. The Natural Gemstone Company presents this Mozambique aquamarine as a technical and aesthetic specimen that marries precise lapidary craftsmanship with an attractive, stable hue, a piece that will maintain its visual appeal and perform reliably as a focal gem in fine jewelry for many years.
