2.32 Ct. Aquamarine from Ceylon (Sri Lanka)

In the heart of Sri Lanka, also known as the isle of gems, an extraordinary journey begins deep within the bedrock. Here, nature’s alchemy turns the mundane into the exquisite. This is the birthplace of our remarkable blue aquamarine. Carefully extracted from the verdant grounds of Ceylon, this stone carries with it the rich traditions and stories of a land renowned for its unsurpassed gem mining heritage. Among the lush landscapes and surging waves of the Indian Ocean, miners await the perfect moment when lunar cycles call forth the tide and the earth is ripe to yield its treasures. They delve into the ground with respect and intuition, uncovering gems that have been millions of years in the making.

Our blue aquamarine, precisely measuring 9.56 x 8.37 x 4.72 mm, emerged from this intricate dance between man and nature. With an elegant emerald cut and weighing 2.32 carats, this gemstone from The Natural Gemstone Company beholds a unique charm. Within its flawless asymmetry and radiant transparency lies a universe of stories captured in a dazzling crystalline showcase. Aquamarines are revered for their tranquil aquamarine blues that recall the far-reaching depths of vast, unperturbed oceans. This particular stone offers an exceptional medium color intensity, a feature that accentuates its natural allure without overpowering its delicate beauty.

This divine gemstone owes its unmatched sparkle to its internal structure, a natural architectural ballet of aluminum and beryl crystals. It’s as though inside this aquamarine lives a world where the sky kisses the sea. Its clarity, graded as very slightly included, means that under the gaze of an experienced eye, subtle, nearly imperceptible inclusions may be discerned. These wisps and veils, reminiscent of ocean mists, celebrate the gem’s authenticity, distinguishing it from the less character-driven synthetic counterparts. It is nature’s autograph, a personal stamp of originality that renders every piece unique and inimitable. An emerald cut complements this inner symmetry, carving light into the stone only to release it in a flood of luminescence.

From origin to cut, the journey of this aquamarine has been meticulously curated. Expert artisans refine the gemstone through an intimate dance of precision and love, ensuring that its superior finish, or "excellent polish," brings out the inner brilliance with each facet reflecting shards of light in a breathtaking display. Collectively, these elements coalesce to produce a brilliant sparkle that appears almost supernatural as if the sunlight itself were woven into its fibers. Our craftsmen at The Natural Gemstone Company blend traditional methods with contemporary dexterity to emphasize the stone’s purity while maintaining respect for its elemental beginnings.

Therefore, possessing this aquamarine from The Natural Gemstone Company is akin to holding a shard of the earth’s most personal art in your hands. It is more than just a gemstone; it is a spring of endless wonder and intrigue, a rarity that carries the whisper of Ceylon. It epitomizes the union of ancient and modern craftsmanship to create an heirloom destined to render any piece of jewelry unforgettable.
