Aquamarine comes in different tones of blues. At present times, the color that most people valued are deep blue and sky blue. However the aquamarine that people adores is sea-green which the name itself also mean sea water.
This gem can appear blue or colourless if view from different angles. The best shape for Aquamarine to appear is hexagonal which can be up to 1m long and flawless. In order to enhance the colour of aquamarine, it is usually heat treated. However one has to take care that Aquamarine is not over heated as it will cause the gem to lose its colour gradually.
The best aquamarine is found mainly in Brazil where it occurs in pegmatites and alluvial deposites of gravel.
Other countries that follows Brazil in their good formation of this stones are India, Afghanistan, Pakistan, Russia and Nigeria.
In Madagascar, one can usually find the darker blue variety.
Thus far, I have posted 3 gemstones rings and it has clearly shown that all 3 rings are of classic cut and design.This 3rd ring has 2 trillion cubic zirconia at the sides. Of course not forgetting that the main attraction is the 3 over carats of aquamarine at the centre of the ring.
