2.60 Ct. Aquamarine from Tanzania

A rare treasure from the heart of Tanzania, this pear shape greenish blue aquamarine presents itself as a study in understated luxury. At 2.60 carats its weight immediately sets it apart from the stream of smaller stones that pass through the market each season. The gem is transparent with a very light color intensity that allows its delicate greenish blue hue to breathe and change with each movement. Cut into a refined pear silhouette with a mixed brilliant facet arrangement, this stone measures 13.63 x 8.53 x 4.59 mm, proportions that translate into a commanding presence on a finger or pendant without sacrificing elegance. Importantly this aquamarine is completely natural with no enhancement, a quality that collectors and connoisseurs recognize as increasingly scarce, and it has an excellent polish that heightens light return and the feeling of purity. Offered through The Natural Gemstone Company this is not a run of the mill listing, it is an invitation to own a single, extraordinary example of nature shaped by expert hands.

Weight is the defining attribute of this gem and the reason it becomes coveted rather than simply admired. At 2.60 carats an aquamarine of this clarity and cut moves into a realm where the price per carat escalates notably, because larger clean material is exponentially less common. The dimensions 13.63 x 8.53 x 4.59 mm create a significant visual footprint, giving this stone presence in a setting and allowing each facet to participate in a dynamic play of light. The mixed brilliant cut amplifies brilliance across the breadth of the pear, while the excellent polish ensures every facet edge is a conduit for sparkle. Clarity is graded slightly included evaluated at eye level, which in a stone of this size is entirely acceptable and often becomes an identifying fingerprint that speaks to its natural origin. These slight inclusions do not detract from the gem they humanize it. They provide authenticity and depth that flawless, heavily treated stones cannot replicate. Combined with the very light greenish blue tone this aquamarine offers a rare balance. It reads as delicate and refined but with sufficient mass to be immediately appreciated as a statement of discerning taste. For collectors and jewelry designers who understand the relationship between carat weight and rarity, this gem represents a meaningful acquisition that will hold and often increase in value over time.

Because pieces of this quality and weight are produced in only limited numbers, ownership is inherently exclusive. This particular aquamarine is a singular opportunity to acquire a natural, untreated gem with provenance to Tanzania, a locality known for producing stones with a soft cool palette that appeals to those seeking something beyond commercial saturation. Its pear shape lends itself to bespoke creations, whether a bespoke engagement piece designed for someone who values subtlety and distinction, an elegant pendant that suspends its light in motion, or a one of a kind ring that sits as a centerpiece in a private collection. Photographs demonstrate scale on the hand so buyers can appreciate both the elegance and the physical presence that 2.60 carats affords. At The Natural Gemstone Company we present this aquamarine to a select clientele who understand that true rarity is measured by a combination of natural origin, substantial weight, and uncompromised craftsmanship. This gem is offered as a single, exceptional example. For those who seek to belong to an elite circle of owners of natural treasures, this aquamarine is a rare opportunity to acquire a piece that resonates with provenance, purity, and enduring allure.
