DESCRIPTION:

Awesome 100% NATURAL Medium Dark Blue to Santa Maria Blue Aquamarine Faceting and Cabbing Rough lot from Mozambique. This is some of the best colored material we have gotten a hold of in well over a year as far as African Aquamarine goes at a reasonable price. Overall the lot is running roughly 50% High Facet grade with many stones having some inclusions that will need to be worked around to produce the cleanest stones possible. Several stones will need to be divided to get them eye-clean! The remaining 50% is a mixture of Top Grade Cabbing Rough and Faceting Rough that will need to be cobbed or sawed out.

There are a few stones in here that are easily worth the parcel price as this is some of the deepest colored material we have seen in quite some time. We don't have much of this on hand so grab this before someone beats you to it!!

COOL FACTS:
  1. Aquamarine mining in Mozambique has been extremely limited as most miners have migrated over to Mavuco in search of Paraiba Tourmaline. Most of the mining activity in Mozambique has shifted over to Mavuco as Paraiba prices continue to climb. We don't know how long it will be before we see a steady supply of Aquamarine coming from Mozambique again; however, the prices don't seem to want to come down.
