Blue Aquamarine
Aquamarine is a stone of “noble blood”, one of the most attractive types of beryl. Its closest "relatives" are emerald, sapphire, and ruby. Perhaps this fact explains the nature of the divine beauty of the stone. Aquamarine got its name from the merger of two words "aqua" - water and "marinus" - the sea, which in Latin sounds like "seawater". And although this name of the stone was presented by the famous ancient Roman sage Pliny the Elder, it came into use thanks to the scientific works of the Belgian scientist and doctor Anselm Boethius de Boot only in 1609. In addition to the name "aquamarine", the name "noble beryl" is also applied to the mineral.
Description of blue aquamarine:
Color. The stone is sky blue. But cute, romantic, gentle in its nature, it also could be found as a bluish-green, greenish-blue, or gray-blue gem. Absolutely all colors of aquamarine are light and airy.
Value. In nature, this stone is found much more often than emeralds and rubies, so the price of the mineral is much more affordable.
Place of mining. Today, Brazil is one of the main suppliers of aquamarines in the world. The richest deposits have formed a gigantic market for aquamarine in these areas. In South America, the largest, crystal clear sky blue aquamarines are born, the best of which become museum exhibits and worthy adornments of private collections.
Features. Blue aquamarine has an impressive pleochroism property. If you adjust the viewing angle of the gem, then its hue will graduate and become either bluish or greenish.
Blue aquamarine history
Aquamarine has been known to humanity for a long time, but worldwide fame for this luxurious stone came only in the Middle Ages. Ancient sailors thought that the stone was able to pacify sea storms and suggest the right path. It was believed that it is best to wear this gem in the form of pendants, necklaces, or beads so that the "soul of the sea" is closer to the heart.
In the aristocratic environment, it was fashionable to combine aquamarines and diamonds in one accessory, symbolizing the elements of Water and Air. Bohemian beauties and cunning schemers of the royal courts of Europe carefully watched the color of the stone of their rivals. It was believed that aquamarine is able to reflect the mood and well-being of its owner. Therefore, if the sky-blue aquamarine became cloudy and acquired a greenish color, then the lady is in a bad mood and in a disorder of feelings.
Especially highly appreciated in medieval Europe aquamarines from India, perfectly clear crystals of stunningly delicate, heavenly shade. In the jewelry collections of the British royal house today, there are many pieces of jewelry with luxurious Indian aquamarines.
Modern jewelry designers and jewelers love aquamarine. Whatever shape the master gives the aquamarine, the stone always looks amazing! It is difficult to find a stone that, in terms of cutting, would be processed so differently and so diversely, this is both a classic proven over the centuries and modern avant-garde types of cutting.
