Offered by Peter Suchy Jewelers<\/a><\/p><\/div>\n<h2>Chemical Composition<\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Aquamarine is a precious gemstone from the mineral beryl family. Its cousin is the emerald. Like other beryl varieties, aquamarines are rated 7.5 to 8 on the Moh\u2019s Hardness Scale. This means that they are soft enough for jewelers to cut to their client\u2019s specs but also durable enough for daily wear. In their natural state, aquamarines are found in a six-sided columnar form. The largest aquamarine crystal ever discovered weighed 243 pounds. These aquamarine crystals are usually transparent and range in color from greenish-blue to a vivid sky blue. Sometimes. the greener aquamarines are heat-treated so that they develop a bluer hue. This will often add value to the stone as blue aquamarines are more desired than green. &nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_101093\" style=\"width: 510px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-101093\" class=\"wp-image-101093 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/www.1stdibs.com\/blogs\/the-study\/wp-content\/uploads\/2288233_l.jpg\" width=\"500\" height=\"500\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.1stdibs.com\/blogs\/the-study\/wp-content\/uploads\/2288233_l.jpg 500w, https:\/\/www.1stdibs.com\/blogs\/the-study\/wp-content\/uploads\/2288233_l-350x350.jpg 350w, https:\/\/www.1stdibs.com\/blogs\/the-study\/wp-content\/uploads\/2288233_l-120x120.jpg 120w, https:\/\/www.1stdibs.com\/blogs\/the-study\/wp-content\/uploads\/2288233_l-300x300.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.1stdibs.com\/blogs\/the-study\/wp-content\/uploads\/2288233_l-216x216.jpg 216w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 500px) 100vw, 500px\" \/><p id=\"caption-attachment-101093\" class=\"wp-caption-text\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.1stdibs.com\/jewelry\/bracelets\/retro-bracelets\/10900-carats-aquamarine-diamond-platinum-gold-bracelet\/id-j_2288233\/\">109-carat aquamarine, diamond, platinum and gold bracelet, ca. 1970. Offered by Vendo\u0302me Jewelry<\/a><\/p><\/div>\n<h2>Historical Origins<\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">On land or sea, aquamarines feature prominently in many folk tales, including&nbsp;one about mermaids gifting aquamarine to sailors to protect them during sea voyages. Worn around sailors\u2019 necks as an amulet, it kept them from getting seasick and, most importantly, from shipwrecks. Considered a symbol of courage by some, aquamarine amulets were also favored&nbsp;by Egyptian and Hebrew warriors during battle. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Aquamarine has also made appearances on some of the grandest of great dames. The Brazilian government gifted Eleanor Roosevelt with a 1,847-carat aquamarine in 1935 and Queen Elizabeth II received a sizable aquamarine upon her 1953 coronation; this stone is now the focal point of her aquamarine tiara. And&nbsp;renowned <a href=\"https:\/\/www.1stdibs.com\/creators\/tiffany-and-co\/jewelry\/\">Tiffany &amp; Co.<\/a> designer Jean Schlumberger made a diamond Bow setting for a 148.5-carat&nbsp;aquamarine, which was originally exhibited at the 1893 World\u2019s Columbian Exhibition, now in the collection of the<\/span> <span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Field Museum of Natural History in Chicago. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The Field Museum also has in its collection a magnificent 137-carat North American faceted aquamarine. This stone from Maine is the largest aquamarine discovered on the continent. Not to be outdone, the Smithsonian Institution\u2019s National Museum of Natural History, has two important aquamarines in their collection: The 10,395-carat Dom Pedro aquamarine obelisk cut by German gem sculptor Bernd Munsteiner in 1992 is the world&#8217;s largest cut aquamarine and then there is the 1,000-carat Most Precious Aquamarine. <\/span><\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_101113\" style=\"width: 510px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-101113\" class=\"wp-image-101113 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/www.1stdibs.com\/blogs\/the-study\/wp-content\/uploads\/M861a_l.jpeg\" width=\"500\" height=\"500\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.1stdibs.com\/blogs\/the-study\/wp-content\/uploads\/M861a_l.jpeg 500w, https:\/\/www.1stdibs.com\/blogs\/the-study\/wp-content\/uploads\/M861a_l-350x350.jpeg 350w, https:\/\/www.1stdibs.com\/blogs\/the-study\/wp-content\/uploads\/M861a_l-120x120.jpeg 120w, https:\/\/www.1stdibs.com\/blogs\/the-study\/wp-content\/uploads\/M861a_l-300x300.jpeg 300w, https:\/\/www.1stdibs.com\/blogs\/the-study\/wp-content\/uploads\/M861a_l-216x216.jpeg 216w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 500px) 100vw, 500px\" \/><p id=\"caption-attachment-101113\" class=\"wp-caption-text\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.1stdibs.com\/jewelry\/necklaces\/drop-necklaces\/1950s-harrods-london-aquamarine-diamond-gold-necklace\/id-j_688212\/\">Harrods aquamarine, diamond and gold necklace, 1950s.

Minas Gerais is also where the 243-pound aquamarine crystal was mined. To this day this part of the world has the richest mines for this gemstone. Aquamarine mines also exist in Africa, specifically in Zambia, Nigeria and Mozambique. According to the Gemological Institute of America, Vietnam has recently become a producer of aquamarine as well.<\/span><\/p>\n<a href=\"https:\/\/www.1stdibs.com\/jewelry\/stone\/aquamarine\/\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-101123 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/www.1stdibs.com\/blogs\/the-study\/wp-content\/uploads\/aquamarine.jpg\" width=\"580\" height=\"254\"><\/a>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>As we approach&nbsp;spring (which&nbsp;officially arrives&nbsp;on March 20), it\u2019s hard not to think about all the things we love about warm weather, like the sun and the sea.
