DESCRIPTION
A single cushion cut "Santa Maria Africana" aquamarine. People are always surprised when I tell them that fine aqua is much rarer than its cousin, fine emerald. Most aqua is pale and washed out. This one obviously is not. A "stormy sky" medium blue with a distinct gray secondary hue.
Dimensions: 4.5mm
Comments: More a stormy sky blue. We have two pair, trillions (8932EMS) and rounds(8484EMS) set in 18k yellow stud earrings. $795 and $575 respectively.
The grading categories used here are based on the approach recommended in my book: Secrets Of The Gem Trade,
The Connoisseur's Guide To Precious Gemstones.
