Aquamarine 1.82 CT Blue Green Rutile Translucent | Round Cut Brazil
A calm blue green tone fills this 1.82 carat aquamarine. The round cut is well proportioned with an even outline and a bright table that returns steady reflections. The body is translucent and shows fine rutile needles as clear streaks that run in organized layers across the face. These inclusions give a gentle silky texture while the color remains stable in daylight and indoor light. Luster is vitreous and the facet junctions are clean, so the stone reads bright and harmonious.
Brazil is the historic center of aquamarine production, especially the pegmatites of Minas Gerais where beryl crystals grow in fluid rich pockets. Iron is the chromophore responsible for the blue to blue green color, and in uncommon conditions titanium crystallizes as rutile inside the host. Repeated pulses during growth can arrange the needles in parallel layers, which explains the visible streaking seen here. Most aquamarine does not show this inclusion scene and many pieces with pronounced silk are cut as cabochons, so a transparent round that clearly displays layered rutile is unusual. Stones above one and a half carats that combine this texture with pleasing color are limited in supply and are valued for the clear record of formation they preserve.
