12.22 Ct. Aquamarine from Brazil

This pear shaped aquamarine weighs 12.22 carat and measures 21.20 x 13.10 x 8.60 mm, presenting a rare combination of size and refined proportions that stands out from the small to medium stones typically offered on the market. The bluish green transparency is delicate and pleasing, with light color intensity that reads as classic aquamarine while remaining versatile for many jewelry designs. The mixed brilliant cut enhances return of light, producing lively scintillation that many step cut aquamarines cannot match. Clarity is described as very very slightly included when evaluated at eye level, which means the gem appears clean to the naked eye and benefits from a premium visual appeal. Heat treatment is disclosed, which is the standard, stable enhancement used to optimize the stone’s hue. Origin from Brazil gives this gem an advantage in desirability, as Brazilian aquamarines are known for even tone and good clarity. For customers seeking a statement center stone with excellent polish and a refined, feminine silhouette, this piece from The Natural Gemstone Company is a compelling option.

Compared to other blue gemstones available today, this aquamarine offers a superior balance of color, clarity, and size for the price point. Blue topaz can be bright but often lacks the soft watery depth and prestige of natural aquamarine. Lower grade aquamarines might show stronger green or pale blue washes or visible inclusions that reduce brilliance. Fine aquamarine in this weight is rare enough that pieces of similar dimensions often command higher premiums when clarity is comparable. The pear shape gives a larger face up appearance than many rounds of the same weight, and the mixed brilliant faceting maximizes sparkle while keeping the classic aquamarine character. Whether set as a pendant to showcase its drop shape, or as a center stone in a custom ring, this gem delivers more visual impact and lasting value than many market alternatives.

Beyond its physical beauty, aquamarine is traditionally associated with calming energy and clear communication, often connected with the throat chakra and the soothing qualities of the sea. People draw on aquamarine to reduce stress, enhance courage, and promote clarity of thought during transitions. It is considered a stone of emotional balance, helping to release old patterns and encouraging honest expression in relationships. Those who work with gemstones for meditation or energetic support often value aquamarine for its gentle, stabilizing influence. This Brazilian aquamarine from The Natural Gemstone Company combines collectible quality with these appealing metaphysical associations, making it an excellent choice for collectors and those seeking a meaningful wearable treasure.
