Hardness: Aquamarine is a relatively durable gemstone with a hardness of 7.5 to 8 on the Mohs scale, making it suitable for everyday wear in various types of jewelry.
Color: Aquamarine is known for its delicate blue to blue-green color, reminiscent of the clear waters of the sea. The most prized aquamarines exhibit a pure, vivid blue hue with excellent transparency.
Clarity: Aquamarine typically exhibits excellent transparency with few inclusions. Clean, eye-clean specimens are highly valued, although some stones may contain minor inclusions that do not detract from their beauty.
Cut: Aquamarine is commonly faceted to maximize its brilliance and color. Popular cuts include oval, round, cushion, emerald-cut, and pear-shaped. Cabochon cuts are also used for opaque or included specimens.
Origin: Aquamarine is found in various locations around the world, including Brazil, Madagascar, Mozambique, and Nigeria. Brazilian aquamarines are highly prized for their intense blue color and transparency.
Treatment: Aquamarines are typically not treated or enhanced, as they naturally exhibit excellent clarity and color. However, some stones may undergo heat treatment to enhance their color or remove unwanted inclusions.
