Aquamarine 2.40 CT Blue Green Rutile Translucent | Oval Cut Brazil
A calm blue green tone moves through this 2.40 carat aquamarine. The oval cut is balanced with a bright table and well aligned facets that return steady reflections. This stunning cut is translucent and shows fine rutile needles arranged in distinct parallel layers across the face. These layers give a gentle silky texture while allowing light to pass, so the color remains even and the luster stays vitreous.
Brazil is the long standing heartland of aquamarine, with pegmatites in Minas Gerais producing crystals for generations. In these pockets beryl grew from iron rich fluids, and in rare conditions titanium crystallized as rutile within the host. Repeated pulses during growth can lay down bands of needles that follow the crystal structure, which explains the layered pattern seen here. Most aquamarine does not show this inclusion scene and cutters often avoid it, so faceted stones that display clear layered rutile are uncommon. Examples over two carats are particularly scarce and are valued for both their origin and the clear record of formation they carry.
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.
