Aquamarine 1.55 CT Sky Blue Rutile Translucent | Oval Cut Brazil
A calm sky blue fills this 1.55 carat aquamarine. The oval is evenly proportioned with a bright open table and clean facet junctions that return steady reflections. The body is translucent and shows fine rutile needles arranged in parallel layers, giving a gentle silky texture while the face remains bright. Luster is vitreous and the color reads uniform across the gem in daylight and indoor light.
Brazilian pegmatites in Minas Gerais are the classic home of aquamarine where beryl crystals grew in fluid rich pockets. Iron in the crystal produces the blue tone and, in rare conditions, titanium separates as rutile inside the host. Successive pulses during growth can align the needles along the crystal structure, which creates the layered pattern visible here. Most aquamarine does not show this inclusion scene and pieces with pronounced silk are often cut as cabochons. Faceted stones near one and a half carats that clearly display layered rutile are therefore uncommon and prized for the clear record of formation they preserve.
Fully certified for authenticity and quality, comes with a sensory experience that you won't forget. Don't miss your chance to own this stunning piece of earth wonder.
