Aquamarine

Basic Information

Aquamarine captures the beauty of the sea. Neptune gave Aquamarine as a gift to the mermaids and from then on brought love to all those who own it. Aquamarines are found in a range of blue shades, from the palest pastel to greenish-blue to a deep blue.

While the choice of colour is largely a matter of taste, the deeper blue gems are more rare. No matter what size, colour or shape of Aquamarine you may desire, GEMGOLD GEMSTONES will be able to help you obtain the perfect Aquamarine gemstone.

Aquamarine is a pastel gemstone and while colour can be quite intense in larger gemstones the smaller Aquamarines are often less vivid. This elegant coloured gemstone is the birthstone of March and is the symbol of youth, hope, health and fidelity.

Locations Found

Aquamarines are mined in a number of exotic places including Nigeria, Madagascar, Zambia, Pakistan and Mozambique. Most of the gemstones available today come from Brazil.
