8.62 Ct. Aquamarine from Ceylon (Sri Lanka)

In the heart of Ceylon's verdant landscapes, amidst the ancient bedrock and the whispers of centuries-old forests, nature quietly crafts one of its most exquisite creations: the aquamarine. From this land famed for its rich history and bountiful emerald waters comes our transparent 8.62-carat radiant shape bluish green aquamarine. Born through the dance of tectonic pressures and millennia of slow alchemy, this stone embodies both the serenity and the vibrant energy of its bountiful origins.

This particular aquamarine, with its dimensions of 13.86 x 10.96 x 8.80 mm, is a testament to the marvels of natural formation and human workmanship. Its radiant cut, designed to maximize brilliance and sparkle, enhances its bluish-green hue, capturing the ethereal dance of sea and sky. The gem's origin on the island, known today as Sri Lanka, is elemental to its formation — the minerals that grace its soils and the natural pockets of heat and pressure combined to birth this marvel.

On the Mohs scale of hardness, aquamarines rank between 7.5 and 8. This ensures that our radiant bluish-green gem not only captivates with its allure but also promises durability and resilience. Whether set in a regal ring or a dazzling pendant, this aquamarine from The Natural Gemstone Company withstands the rigors of daily wear, symbolizing an unmatched blend of elegance and endurance. Each facet is a testament to centuries of geological history and contemporary artistry.

The clarity of this stone, evaluated as very slightly included at eye level, boasts nearly flawless transparency, rivaling the clarity of the spring-fed waters babbling through Ceylon. Its whispers of light color intensity add an ethereal softness that evokes a gentle ocean breeze, making it a perfect centerpiece or complementary accent in any jewelry collection. The excellent polish confers a smooth, mirror-like finish, elevating this gem to a plane of artistry crafted by The Natural Gemstone Company.

Owning this aquamarine is akin to wearing a fragment of Ceylon's storied world.
