Aquamarine

The Aquamarine, a captivating gem with hues evoking the serenity of distant seas, is a remarkable variety of beryl, a mineral that shares its family with the famous emerald. Its unique color palette, ranging from pale blue to green-blue, owes its existence to traces of iron in its crystalline structure. This chromatic characteristic gives the Aquamarine a special appeal, reflecting the varied shades of the ocean, from the shallow waters of tropical shores to the mysterious abyssal depths.

Aquamarine deposits are scattered across the world, each offering distinct specimens that reflect their unique geological environment. Brazil is renowned for its Aquamarine mines, where some of the most beautiful stones with the most intense and saturated colors are found. In Africa, the mines of Mozambique and Namibia produce exceptional quality Aquamarines, often highly prized for their clarity and brightness. In Asia, Pakistan and Afghanistan are also important sources, where particular geological conditions give the stones their unique characteristics.
