This transparent 4.85 carat aquamarine, emerald cut and faceted to precise proportions, measures 15.83 x 7.41 x 5.30 mm, and represents a finely balanced combination of size and elegance. Its medium color intensity yields a fresh, true blue that is distinctly Aquamarine, while the excellent polish brings crisp facet junctions and a clean, reflective table. Clarity is graded as very slightly included, evaluated at eye level, which means minor natural inclusions are present but do not detract from the gem's clean appearance or light performance. Crucially, this stone has no enhancement, it is untreated, and its documented origin from Madagascar adds provenance that matters to educated buyers, collectors, and designers who value traceable, natural material. The emerald cut, with its step facets and elongated profile, emphasizes the gem's crystalline clarity and delivers broad flashes of blue that read consistently across the surface, making it ideal as a center stone for classic rings or refined pendants.
From a durability perspective this aquamarine is an excellent choice for daily wear, because aquamarine belongs to the beryl family and typically rates between 7.5 and 8 on the Mohs hardness scale, providing strong resistance to everyday scratching and abrasion. The well executed emerald cut with trimmed corners reduces susceptibility to edge chipping compared with sharper cuts, and the excellent polish further minimizes micro abrasions while enhancing the gem's lustre. While aquamarine is robust enough for rings worn often, care should focus on avoiding sudden hard impacts and exposure to extreme temperature changes, and settings that protect the girdle and corners like bezels or secure prongs are recommended to maximize longevity. At The Natural Gemstone Company we document cut, clarity, treatment status, and origin to help you make informed choices, and this Madagascar aquamarine represents a rare combination of natural color, eye clean clarity, and solid lasting value suited to wearable fine jewelry.
