2.03 Ct. Aquamarine from Nigeria

This transparent 2.03 carat trillion shape aquamarine from Nigeria is presented with exacting specifications that reflect its natural quality and appeal. The gem measures 8.99 by 7.70 by 6.26 mm, and the precise trillion cut emphasizes its clean lines and triangular symmetry. Color presents as greenish blue with a faint intensity, and the material displays notable transparency. Clarity is graded as very slightly included evaluated at eye level, which means the inclusions are minimal and do not detract from overall brilliance when set. The polish is excellent, providing crisp facet junctions and lively light return. There has been no enhancement to this stone, and its natural origin and untreated condition are documented, consistent with the provenance and standards maintained by The Natural Gemstone Company.

Beyond its aesthetic attributes, this aquamarine offers a durability profile well suited to daily wear in jewelry. As a member of the beryl family, aquamarine typically registers between 7.5 and 8 on the Mohs scale of hardness, providing good resistance to scratching from routine contact. Its overall toughness is appropriate for rings, pendants, and earrings when the stone is secured in protective settings. For a trillion shape, settings that shield the three corners, such as a bezel or a well-engineered prong design with reinforced corners, reduce the risk of chipping from lateral impact. The stone is chemically stable and resists common household chemicals and solvents, but care is advised to avoid hard blows and extreme temperature shocks. Given the clarity description of very slightly included evaluated at eye level, standard ultrasonic cleaning is generally acceptable, however professional assessment is recommended prior to use of any aggressive cleaning methods. Regular inspection of the setting and routine care will preserve the appearance and integrity of the gem. The Natural Gemstone Company selects and certifies this piece to ensure it meets high standards for both beauty and wearability, making it a practical and refined choice for everyday jewelry when set and maintained appropriately.
