Comments : This is an outstanding aquamarine! The design is the Classic Step Cut... I couldn't think of a better design for this particular gem. The gem is very clean for so big an aqua. There is just the slightest tint of green which I love... just enough to make it special. This is a very elegant gem... the sort of stone that one can spend a long time searching for. It has a fine water, glassy and crisp. The photos do not do this gem justice... it is much better in person. Top shelf gem!

Item : #210
Design : Classic Step Cut
Origin : Pakistan
Treatments : None
Weight : 4.4 ct carats
Clarity : Very Slightly Included
Size : 7 x 11 x 6.5 mm
Price : $700 AUD

Comments : A beautiful, watery aquamarine. The design is the Classic Step Cut and suits aqua very well. Its a nice size for a ring. It was cut from the same piece of rough as #212 which makes them "sibling stones". They are perfectly matched in colour because of this however this gem is slightly larger. They would make a nice pair of earrings. There are some minor veils.

Origin : Mozambique
Treatments : Heated?
Weight : 1.5 ct carats
Clarity : Eye Clean
Size : 7 x 7 x 5.5 mm
Price : $270 AUD

Comments : Fantastic blue aquamarine in a very brilliant round design. This is something a little different and very nice. The blue is a bit darker then normal and I'd say it was light/medium. I am unsure whether it has been heated so assume that it has... most "blue" aquamarine has been heated in order to remove the green tint. A top little gem!
