Item Description
Here we have a beautiful and uniquely colored Aquamarine gem from Nigeria. The color in the stone is predominantly blue - albeit pastel - but if you look closely, you can see there is a slight greenish overtone, giving this material the nickname "Mint Aqua". I remember that we had some of these gems nearly 20 years ago when they first came out, and we were told they had a trace amount of vanadium that caused the green color. The stone has a "Round Brilliant" cut with nearly eye clean clarity. Not your "run of the mill" Aqua gem to be sure, and it would make a great center stone in a piece of jewelry.
