7.71 ct Blue Aquamarine - Pear

This 7.71-carat aquamarine is cut as a pear measuring 16.6 x 12.2 x 8.3 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.

One of a kind, it exists exactly once; there is no second example to size up or down. It is the rarer object, and the kind of gemstone that becomes an heirloom. Caveman Gems hand-selects every gemstone and films it in good light, to give you the truest look a screen can.
