Description

Mozambique has recently started producing some excellent quality aquamarines which rival the famous Santa Maria Aquas from Brazil. These top color gems - known as Santa Maria Afrique to differentiate them from their Brazilian counterparts - have hardly been seen at all for the last several years. Unlike the vast majority of Aquamarines which are quite pale, these have a far more intense blue color.

This unique Radiant Cut Aquamarine showcases mesmerizing deep blue hues, reminiscent of the coveted 'Santa Maria Afrique' gemstones, widely sought after in the industry. Its naturally exquisite form is characterized by an exceptional level of scintillation, radiating light that immediately captivates the eye. The extraordinary brilliance and depth of color attribute to its exceptional beauty, making it an undoubtedly attractive piece. This gemstone is completely natural and impresses with its unaltered, authentic form, a testament to nature’s unmatched ability in producing inimitable marvels.
