11.56 Ct. Aquamarine from Brazil

A single drop of sea and sky, this pear shaped bluish green aquamarine weighs 11.56 carat, and stretches a graceful 23.20 x 13.10 x 8.00 mm, its silhouette carved into a mixed brilliant cut that scatters light like sunlight on water. Transparent and serenely clear, it carries an eye clean clarity when viewed at eye level, and a very light color intensity that whispers of early morning tides rather than shouting with flamboyance. The polish is excellent, each facet flowing into the next with smooth precision, and the gentle warmth of heat treatment has deepened its purity while preserving its natural charm. Sourced from Brazil and presented by The Natural Gemstone Company, this gem feels like a secret kept between shore and sky, ready to become the heart of an intimate setting, a pendant that sways with your breath, or a ring that reads like a promise.

Beyond its poetry, this aquamarine offers reassuring resilience, scoring about 7.5 to 8 on the Mohs scale of hardness, making it significantly more durable than many common gems, and a practical choice for regular wear when set with care. For perspective, diamond ranks at 10, sapphire at 9, while topaz is around 8 and quartz sits near 7, so this stone balances everyday toughness with the delicate, luminous quality that makes aquamarine beloved. Its hardness means it resists scratches well compared to softer stones, yet it benefits from mindful wear and occasional cleaning to preserve that luminous surface and the crisp reflections of its mixed brilliant cut. Treated by heat to enhance its tone and clarity, this gem remains a natural testament to the earth that formed it, a Brazilian treasure polished into a shape that evokes a teardrop of joy. Let The Natural Gemstone Company guide you in choosing a setting that protects the pointed tip and showcases the broad heart, so this aquamarine can be cherished daily, and kept as a quiet reminder of oceans, light, and the gentle things we promise to one another.
