Comment: Most unheated aquamarines are terribly shy presenting their delicate blue in front of the camera. No exception here. While in person, this four carats precision cut is always bright blue with a dash of green, the color of a mountain stream in a holiday prospect for fly-fishing in Canada, the unaided camera and un-faked digital presentation catches more white and background-colors than blue. Of course, Light 33, is a bright hue, just as nature made aquamarine. Less color and it would be called Goshenite, white beryl, but this is obvious aquamarine. Precision-cut in Germany. As so often, the best insight for colors in bright gems is gained in the side image, check-it-out, the blue you see there in the lower third, that is how the whole gem looks in person all the time. Canadian fly-fishers aside, for the surfers amongst us, it is the hue of oxygen-filled waters in the cold oceans' surf, where giant waves calm down after their first breaking, releasing the white bubbles but keeping the bright green-blue of the air-filled water as they re-collect for a second or third crash. Though only four carats, the gem gives a full show in brilliancy and face-up. 3xNo standard: No treatments, no windows, no inclusions. Plus, as always, global delivery with the original full-size GPC report, our own grading papers, a plot of endangered forest habitat bought and protected in your name at WLT, and other WildFish-perks.
