Both the Emerald and Aquamarine share many properties (same RI and specific gravity) but the clarity and transparency level are quite different. Emerald comes with lots of inclusion to clear quality and Aquamarine comes mostly clear and transparent in faceted gem quality. A dark and deeply saturated sea blue color is the most desirable. Read more about this in the next section.
World-Famous Aquamarine – The ‘Dom Pedro’ was the biggest Aquamarine ever discovered and cut by a Germany based designer Bernd Munsteiner weighing 26 kg and cut and faceted in Idar-Oberstein.
Aquamarine Qualities, Color, and Shapes –
Quality parameters in Aquamarine Gemstones are different from other gems. Color plays an important role in this, as it comes in pale blue (almost white) to sea blue color, please see the color chart below. You’ll find that It is very difficult to find a gem quality (sea blue) Aquamarine. Top-quality Aquamarine comes from Brazil (the Santa Maria de Altamira mine) and which is very high in price.
Aquamarine is one of the favorite stones of many designers. It comes in three different shades – Green, Grey, and Blue (blue preferred most). The top shade of Aquamarine is the ‘Santa Maria’ color which is close to the Sky Blue Topaz color and this color is also high in price. Aquamarine Cabochons are mostly made with milky material. Commercial Aquamarine cabs come with inclusions and low transparency.
Let’s talk about inclusions – Black spots, cracks, scratches, and lines you do not find in this gemstone-like in other stones. In cabochon quality, you will see clouds (Milky) inside the stone and that is low in price, but you can get good color with milky quality at a lower price
