• Origin

The Aquamarine crystals resourced from the mines of Mozambique (called Santa Maria Africana Aquamarine) and Brazil (called Espirito Aquamarine) are other popular origin varieties found in the finest color and clarity. Sri Lankan Aquamarine holds a fair reputation in the gem industry because of its high transparency.

• Color

  : The trace amounts of ferrous iron in Aquamarine raw give the brilliant blue color to crystal. Aquamarine colour range can be blue to deep blue, very slightly to dark greenish-blue with very light to moderately strong color intensity and tone. The purer, intense, deep and bright blue Aquamarine is always more valuable than pale and dull ones.
