Aquamarine Tumble

Aquamarine Tumble 

Aquamarine is a variety of the mineral beryl, and it gets its name from the Latin words "aqua marina," meaning "water of the sea." It is found in various locations around the world, with significant deposits in countries such as Brazil, Madagascar, Afghanistan, Pakistan, Russia, and the United States. The gemstone is often found in granite pegmatites and alluvial deposits. Brazil, particularly the state of Minas Gerais, is known for producing large and high-quality aquamarine crystals.

Aquamarine is prized for its stunning blue to blue-green colour, reminiscent of the clear waters of the ocean. The intensity of the color can vary, and lighter shades are not uncommon. The gemstone can exhibit excellent transparency and clarity, making it a popular choice for jewelry. Aquamarine crystals are typically well-formed hexagonal prisms with a six-sided pyramidal termination. The hardness of aquamarine makes it durable and suitable for various jewelry applications, including rings, necklaces, and earrings. In addition to its aesthetic appeal, aquamarine is often associated with qualities like tranquility, courage, and communication.
