Aquamarine 5.04 CT Sky Blue Translucent | Oval Cut Brazil
A clear sky blue fills this 5.04 carat aquamarine. The oval cut is balanced with a bright open table and well aligned facets that give broad, even reflections. The body is translucent and shows fine internal silk and soft clouds that diffuse the light without dulling the face. Color is uniform across the gem and remains steady in daylight and indoor light. Luster is vitreous and the polish is crisp, so the stone presents a calm and harmonious appearance for its generous size.
Brazil is the classic home of aquamarine, especially the pegmatites of Minas Gerais where beryl crystals formed in fluid rich veins. Iron is the chromophore that gives the blue tone, and small variations in iron content create the familiar range from sky blue to blue green. In the trade many aquamarines are gently heated to reduce green, which is why natural looking sky blue rough suited for faceting is not abundant. Mining is small scale and seasonal, and large pieces that cut into well made faceted gems above five carats with an even face are produced in limited numbers. This stone reflects that Brazilian pedigree and the scarcity of sizeable, attractive sky blue aquamarine.
