An Emerald Cut Aquamarine at 4.05 Carats, Internally Flawless
This aquamarine gemstone is cut in the emerald style, a step cut with trimmed corners and layered facets that draws attention toward the center of the stone rather than scattering it into smaller flashes. At 4.05 carats and measuring 13 x 8 x 5 mm, it carries an IF clarity grade, meaning internally flawless under standard magnification, a high bar for aquamarine that puts this stone above typical commercial grade material.
The color falls in the true aqua blue range, clean and even without any grey undertone pulling the tone down. Sourced from Brazil, one of the primary origins for gem quality aquamarine, this stone is completely untreated, so the color you see is exactly how it formed. Because aquamarine rates 7.5 to 8 on the Mohs hardness scale, it holds up well to daily wear once set, which makes it a practical choice alongside its color for solitaire rings or as an accent stone in a more detailed band design. This stone is sold loose, ready to be set into whatever piece you have in mind.
