Comment: As you may have guessed, we have a new and excellent connection into Kashmir. Tricky for the camera is this aquamarine, due to the bright shining color AND its high brilliancy but perfect beauty to the eye. Typical for unheated aquamarine is the hint of green captured in the back image and in one of the two side-images, where a minor shift of viewing angle changes the hue from pure blue to light greenish blue. Note the extra shot under (dimmed but direct) sunlight: an explosion of bright neon blue just as the eye perceives it in person. No window, no inclusions, no treatments. The traditional hand-cut is as good as perfect, almost as precise as CAD, the deviation becomes visible under the lens only, but with the same optical results. The shimmering water character that only best aquamarine can produce has been a delight since the love-affair between humans and gemstones or rather 'beauty' in general, began. For untreated aqua, Light-Medium-40 is a strong, deep tone, extra blessed with no color-zoning and best brilliancy imaginable. Appreciated round cut from the usually long shaped rough crystals. As all our gems, it comes with 1000sqm of rainforest protected in your name, a donation for animal rights, free shipping, all original paperwork and everything you may need to enjoy and secure the gem's value for future generations. Handshot, as always in light colored gems, is dominated by skin color - ignore.
