1.15 ct Blue Aquamarine - Octagon

This 1.15-carat aquamarine is cut as an octagon measuring 6.8 x 4.7 mm, with a blue body color, sourced from Nigeria.

Aquamarine is the blue beryl, colored by iron, and grows in larger clean crystals than its cousin emerald, which is why it cuts so bright. Nigeria's gem fields rose to prominence in the 1990s and remain a significant modern source. It is wholly untreated, its color finished by geology rather than by any furnace or enhancement.

This is a center-stone-grade gemstone with a character of its own, chosen rather than settled for. Caveman Gems hand-selects every gemstone and photographs it in good light, to give you the truest look a screen can.
