A natural light blue aquamarine cabochon from Africa, 9.16ct, measuring 14.5x12.5mm. This smooth oval dome shows a pale, near-white blue, translucent rather than fully transparent, with a soft, milky glow that diffuses light evenly across the polished surface. The semi-transparent character is a natural property of this material, not a treatment effect.
Aquamarine cabochons from African deposits often carry this soft, luminous, slightly cloudy quality, distinct from the glassy transparency of high-clarity faceted material, but with an appealing gentleness that suits certain design approaches. At 14.5x12.5mm it is a substantial cabochon, well sized for bezel ring settings, large pendants, or chunky bracelet centerpieces.
Natural aquamarine, March birthstone, sold loose.

About aquamarine
Aquamarine is the blue to blue-green variety of beryl. At 7.5 to 8 on the Mohs scale with only poor cleavage, it is a good stone for everyday wear, rings included.
Cleaning
Warm water, a drop of mild dish soap and a soft brush, then rinse and dry with a soft cloth. Skip ultrasonic and steam cleaners: vibration and sudden temperature changes can crack it.
Wear and storage
Aquamarine is hard enough for everyday wear, and it can scratch softer gemstones stored with it. Harder stones such as topaz, sapphire, ruby and diamond can scratch it, so store it on its own in a gem jar or a soft pouch.
For your jeweler
This aquamarine is untreated. Aquamarine should be kept away from the torch flame, acid pickle and the ultrasonic bath.
