Chunky Aquamarine Pendant
A beautiful aquamarine pendant featuring a subtle greenish-blue, opaque gemstone. Highly polished and mounted in a fine sterling silver setting.
Aquamarine is a popular variety of the mineral beryl whose colour is caused by impurities of iron. Shades can vary from pale green to light blue.
It's common for aquamarine to be heavily included, which is why some stones are opaque.
Most blue aquamarine, especially translucent gemstones, will have been heated. Heating improves clarity and can change the shade from green to blue.
