Natural Aquamarine stone Online

Aquamarine is a dreamy gemstone that is light blue or greenish-blue in appearance. It derives its name from the combination of two Latin words that mean water of the sea. The color of this gemstone is a perfect reflection of a sea, and it evokes the same calm and deeper emotions in its bearers just like the sea would on its onlookers. Although discovered in 1723, the stone was used by ancient Greeks and Romans to be blessed by the true spirit of the sea during their seafaring journey. The crystal belongs to the Beryl mineral family and is often referred to as the queen of Beryl.

The gemstone is known for its luminous quality and these gemstones are type 1. Though high-clarity aquamarine does not include many visible inclusions, certain inclusions give the ethereal sparkle under the light at the correct angle to the crystal, called chatoyancy. This cat eye effect looks mesmerizing in the cool hues of the aquamarine. Even rarer inclusion in aquamarine is asterism. Aquamarine continues to be the inspiration for many jewelers including Harry Winston. Aquamarine is also given as a gift for the 16th and 19th wedding anniversaries.

Owing to its steady rise in popularity it is fondly admired as the gemstone of the future.

GEM CARE

Aquamarine has a hardness of 7.5 to 8 on the Mohs scale. It is a relatively hard gemstone and so can make durable jewelry. However, the stone has poor tenacity and so it can be chipped or scratched when it comes into contact with harder materials.

Aquamarine is temperature sensitive to an extent and so it shouldn’t be exposed to sudden temperature changes as it can change its color or cause damage to it due to thermal shock. Overexposure to the sun should also be avoided as it may lead to fading.

Do not use abrasive chemicals to clean the crystal and it shouldn’t be exposed to bleach etc. Clean it with lukewarm water, and use a damp, soft cloth while cleaning.

Store the gem separately from other jewelry and gems as it can cause scratches and store it in a jewelry box or soft pouch.

Have the crystal professionally inspected every few years to ensure that it is free of damage.
