About the Item

Loose Aquamarine Weight: 10.90 Carats Dimension: 15.7x10.6x9.3 Mm Origin: Shigar Valley Shape: Cushion Color: Light Blue Treatment: Non / Natural Certificate: on client demand Aquamarine, often referred to as the "gem of the sea," is a captivating and highly sought-after gemstone known for its stunning blue to blue-green hues. With a name derived from the Latin words "aqua" (water) and "mare" (sea), aquamarine's color evokes the calming and soothing essence of the ocean. Belonging to the beryl family of minerals, which also includes emerald, morganite, and heliodor, aquamarine is treasured for its exceptional transparency and brilliance. Its color can range from pale sky blue to a more saturated greenish-blue, with the most prized aquamarines displaying a pure, vivid blue color reminiscent of a clear summer sky. The primary sources of aquamarine include Brazil, Madagascar, and some African countries, where it is often found in pegmatite veins or alluvial deposits. Aquamarine crystals can grow to impressive sizes, making them well-suited for various types of jewelry, from delicate pendants to statement rings and earrings. Throughout history, aquamarine has been cherished for its beauty and perceived metaphysical properties. Ancient sailors believed it provided protection during their ocean voyages, earning it the moniker "sailor's gem." Aquamarine was also associated with tranquility and was believed to promote peace and calm. In modern times, it continues to symbolize serenity and is often given as a gift for March birthdays or as an anniversary gift, particularly for the 19th wedding anniversary. Aquamarine's hardness, with a rating of 7.5 to 8 on the Mohs scale, makes it durable for everyday wear. Its sparkling and refreshing appearance has made it a popular choice for engagement rings, where it can be the centerpiece of a beautiful and symbolic piece of jewelry. In the realm of crystal healing and spirituality, aquamarine is believed to enhance communication, soothe emotions, and promote clarity of thought. Some people wear aquamarine to encourage emotional healing, relaxation, and stress relief. In conclusion, aquamarine's exquisite color and timeless appeal have solidified its status as a cherished gemstone for both aesthetic and metaphysical reasons. Its connection to the sea, serene blue hues, and durability ensure its enduring popularity in the world of jewelry, making it a gemstone that continues to capture the hearts of gem enthusiasts and jewelry connoisseurs alike.
