Blue oval-cut aquamarine 3.9 CT
Blue, oval-cut aquamarine is a highly sought-after, classic choice for fine jewelry due to its ocean-inspired hue and exceptional brilliance.
Key Characteristics
- Mineral Family: A member of the beryl family (which also includes emerald).
- Color: Ranging from a subtle pastel, icy blue to a soft sky blue. The color is caused by trace amounts of iron within the crystal structure.
- Cut: The oval cut is favored for maximizing carat weight retention while brilliantly capturing light.
- Hardness: Rates at 7.5 to 8 on the Mohs scale, making it highly durable for everyday wear like engagement rings.
Shopping & Sourcing
- Sizes: Easily found in everything from delicate under-1-carat sizes to bold, statement center stones of 5+ carats.
- Clarity: Often relatively "eye-clean" compared to other beryls, but natural stones can exhibit subtle, internal inclusions.
