10.06 Ct. Cabochon Aquamarine from Brazil

From the heart of Brazil to the careful hands of The Natural Gemstone Company, this aquamarine carries the calm of deep seas and the quiet authority of classical beauty, a stone that speaks as much of place as it does of time. We present a transparent oval aquamarine weighing 10.06 carats, with dimensions of 16.06 x 12.13 x 7.25 mm, cut en cabochon to reveal a smooth, luminous dome. The light blue tone is gentle in intensity, and the gem displays a clarity graded as very slightly included when evaluated at eye level, a natural fingerprint that lends character rather than diminishes the gem. There has been no enhancement, the polish is excellent, and the overall presence of this stone is one of serene refinement. For collectors and connoisseurs who prize authenticity, this untreated Brazilian aquamarine offers the rare combination of substantial size, natural beauty, and classic workmanship that endures across eras and fashions.

Aquamarine has been treasured for millennia, named for the sea and revered by sailors and statesmen alike as a talisman of protection, calm, and clear vision, and this cabochon cut recalls the antiquity of those uses, when gemstones were worn as smooth, tactile amulets and passed down through generations. The cabochon shape emphasizes the stone manifold, creating a soft, internal glow rather than the fire of faceted cuts, and it invites touch and contemplation, attributes that suit family heirlooms and legacy pieces. The very slightly included clarity of this specimen should be read as evidence of natural origin, inclusions that in the right light form delicate patterns and streaks that are like the memory of currents and undertows, each line a reminder of the geological journey that created the gem. At 10.06 carats, and with the generous proportions of 16.06 x 12.13 x 7.25 mm, this aquamarine will make a commanding center for a vintage inspired bezel pendant, a noble solitaire ring with a protective bezel setting, or an artful brooch that leans on classical motifs. The smooth domed profile unobtrusively complements both warm yellow gold and cool white metal settings, and the excellent polish ensures that metalwork will reflect and enhance the gem rather than compete with it.

Choosing a natural, untreated aquamarine from Brazil is a decision that favors longevity, provenance, and understated elegance, a legacy for future generations to wear and to remember. At The Natural Gemstone Company we emphasize careful selection, and this stone is offered for those who appreciate its historical resonance and its practical qualities alike. To care for an aquamarine of this nature we recommend gentle cleaning in warm soapy water with a soft brush, avoiding harsh chemicals and abrupt temperature change, and keeping the stone away from prolonged exposure to strong sunlight that might alter its tone over many years. For mounting we suggest settings that protect the domed profile while allowing light to reveal its inner calm, and for those considering custom work we are happy to consult on bezels, closed back designs that honor the cabochon tradition, or open back settings that add a contemporary sensibility to an ancient form. If you seek a gem that links the lore of the sea with the craft of fine jewelry, this 10.06 carat Brazilian aquamarine offers a rare opportunity, and The Natural Gemstone Company stands ready to assist with any questions about provenance, setting options, or bespoke design to ensure that this timeless stone becomes a living part of your own family story.
