2.32 Ct. Aquamarine from Ceylon (Sri Lanka)

Deep within the heart of ancient Ceylon, now known as Sri Lanka, lies a land rich in vibrant tales and natural wonders. It is here, beneath the earth’s surface, that the pristine aquamarine gemstone begins its journey. Born amidst the heat and pressure of the earth's embrace, our 2.32 carat aquamarine emerges, a treasure waiting to be uncovered.

The aquamarine's unique hue reflects the tranquil yet awe-inspiring beauty of the azure sky, echoing the deep blue seas surrounding its island home.

As miners delicately extract the gemstone from its earthly confines, the aquamarine is entrusted to the skilled hands of master craftsmen. These artisans are stewards of a time-honored tradition, transforming unassuming raw stones into exquisite works of art. It is in their studios where the gemstone adopts its distinguished emerald cut, a shape that enhances its inherent clarity and brilliance. This cut, synonymous with elegance and sophistication, is meticulously chosen to emphasize the stone’s natural transparency and luster. The stone's medium color intensity blooms under expert hands, capturing the essence of calmness and serenity.

Along its journey from the depths of Ceylon to The Natural Gemstone Company, the aquamarine is adorned with intricate inclusions. These tiny, delicate features, visible upon close inspection, serve as nature’s fingerprints. While many may view inclusions as imperfections, we celebrate them at The Natural Gemstone Company as unique identifiers, telling the tale of each stone’s unique path through the earth. Each inclusion adds depth and character, whispering secrets of its geological history and giving each gem an individuality all its own.

The clarity grade of very slightly included, as evaluated at eye level, signifies a nearly flawless presence that welcomes light from every direction. When viewed at different angles, these inclusions create captivating plays of light and refraction, their subtle dance highlighting the gem's natural beauty. The aquamarine’s excellent polish guarantees a mirror-like surface, ensuring that its sapphire-blue depths are brought to life, capturing and reflecting the world around it with unparalleled elegance.
