Item Description
Beryl is known in a myriad of colors, but one of the most popular shades is blue. This particular gem is a beautiful natural blue Aquamarine from the Mozambique gem fields. This stone is nearly eye clean and has a very pleasing light "aqua blue" color. It's a good size stone for a ring or a pendant if you so wish. The stone has a "Quantum Emerald" cut, so the concave lines on the pavillion of the stone is what makes it stand out from an ordinary Aquamarine gem. I have rarely seen gems with this kind of facetting/cutting, and I think it is a great novelty stone for a collector, or would certainly make a very attractive piece of jewelry for somebody with a March birthday as Aquamarine is the birthstone for that month.
