ORIGIN & THE SCIENCE OF BEAUTY
Aquamarine is the blue to blue-green variety of the mineral Beryl (Be₃Al₂Si₆O₁₈), a beryllium aluminum silicate. It belongs to the same mineral family as renowned gemstones such as Emerald, Morganite, Heliodor, and Goshenite. It crystallizes in the hexagonal system. Aquamarine's characteristic color stems primarily from the presence of iron within its crystal structure. This element produces a range of hues—from light blue to blue-green and green-blue—with intensity variations depending on the crystal's composition and formation conditions. The most prized shades are typically those that are pure, balanced, and luminous blue.
With a hardness of 7.5 to 8 on the Mohs scale, vitreous luster, and high transparency, Aquamarine is highly valued in jewelry making. It forms primarily in granitic pegmatites, where fluids rich in rare elements circulate slowly through fractures and cavities.
Brazil has been the world's leading source of gem-quality Aquamarine for over a century—a phenomenon known as the "Brazilian Bonanza." Its primary geological origin is the Eastern Brazilian Pegmatite Province, which dates back more than 500 million years. This specimen originates from that region, serving as a unique testament to Brazil's mineral wealth and gemstone geodiversity; origin: Cruzeiro — São José da Safira — Minas Gerais — Brazil.
