No reserve price Blue Aquamarine - 5.22 ct - Gemological Science International (GSI)

Aquamarine, a gem-quality variety of beryl, is cherished for its fresh, sea-blue coloration, reminiscent of clear tropical waters. This gemstone owes its hue primarily to trace amounts of iron ions within its crystal lattice. Aquamarines typically form in granitic pegmatites and alluvial deposits, making them accessible yet prized by jewelers and collectors alike. The stone commonly exhibits excellent clarity and a vitreous luster, contributing to its attractiveness when faceted. With a Mohs hardness between 7.5 and 8, aquamarine is fairly resistant to scratching and suitable for a range of jewelry applications including rings, necklaces, and earrings. Certified by organizations such as the Gemological Science International, gemstones like this assure buyers of authenticity and quality. Aquamarine’s calming blue tones have made it a traditional gift for March birthdays and a symbol of tranquility and harmony in various cultures.
