2.86 Ct. Aquamarine from Ceylon (Sri Lanka)

Introducing a masterpiece of natural beauty, the blue aquamarine offered by The Natural Gemstone Company represents a pinnacle of gemstone elegance and rarity. We present a transparent 2.86 carat emerald cut aquamarine, a testament to the exceptional quality and meticulous craftsmanship that distinguishes it from more common gemstones. Measuring 9.18 x 7.66 x 5.75 mm, this aquamarine exudes a serene and captivating aura, capturing the essence of the tranquil seas surrounding its origin in Ceylon, or present-day Sri Lanka.

The expertly executed emerald cut of this aquamarine is tailored to optimize its interaction with light, resulting in a display of captivating brilliance that rivals, if not surpasses, more conventional gems. Unlike the more prevalent diamond or sapphire, this aquamarine offers a unique play of light due to its step-cut facets. The precise parallel facets form a geometric symmetry which enhances the stone's luster, rather than overwhelming the eye with flashes. This refined approach allows the aquamarine's true character to shine, showcasing its internal clarity and subtle nuances without compromise.

The aquamarine's clarity is graded as very slightly included at eye level, meaning any inclusions present are not immediately visible to the untrained eye. This clarity elevates the gemstone from the ordinary to the extraordinary, as its interior purity allows light to pass unimpeded through its structure, offering an exceptionally transparent and luminous appearance. The light color intensity of this gemstone positions it on the more delicate side of aquamarines, however, don't be fooled by its subtlety. Its gentle blue hue transforms in different lights, reminiscent of serene tropical waters, offering an understated elegance that can only be achieved in gemstones of such high caliber.

Lastly, the excellent polish of this aquamarine adds another layer of distinction, creating a flawlessly smooth surface that facilitates optimal light refraction. Other gemstones often lack this high level of surface perfection, which can detract from their overall brilliance, but at The Natural Gemstone Company, our craftsmen use techniques perfected through generations to ensure each facet and surface reaches a standard unsurpassed in quality. This meticulous attention to detail is what sets this aquamarine apart, securing its place as a coveted piece within any luxury gemstone collection. For discerning buyers, this gemstone stands not only as a lovely piece of nature but a remarkable testament to the artistry and expertise that only a few possess.
