About Aquamarine
Aquamarine is the blue to blue-green variety of beryl, coloured by iron. Unlike emerald, aquamarine commonly occurs clean and in larger sizes, so well-cut eye-clean stones are readily available. The finest material shows a pure, saturated blue rather than a green-leaning tone. You can read more via gemmological reference, mineral data.
Aquamarine grows in granitic pegmatites, where slow cooling of mineral-rich fluids allows large, well-formed hexagonal crystals to develop. These same pockets often yield tourmaline and topaz alongside it.
Why You Will Love This Parcel
💎 Varied Transparency
Inspect each rough piece under strong light to locate internal inclusions and plan your cuts for maximum clarity in the finished work.
✨ Workable Hardness
The material sits comfortably high on the Mohs scale, making it durable enough for standard lapidary equipment and secure bezel settings.
🔷 Multiple Pieces
This parcel provides plenty of raw material to experiment with different cabochon shapes, freeform carving styles, or wire wrapping techniques.
📦 Exactly What Is Pictured
The photographs and video show this parcel. You receive the parcel pictured, not a lookalike.
Popular Uses
Aquamarine suits rings, pendants and earrings, and its availability in larger sizes makes it popular for statement pieces. It is the March birthstone and a traditional nineteenth anniversary gift. Rough of this kind is bought by cutters, wire wrappers and collectors rather than set as it is.
Ideal For
- Lapidary hobbyists stocking the workbench
- Wire wrappers seeking organic raw elements
- Makers crafting a March birthstone gift
- Collectors of raw mineral specimens

Frequently Asked Questions
What exactly do I receive in this parcel?
You receive the whole lot pictured: 16.19 grams of natural Aquamarine rough, with individual stones between 2 to 3.49 grams. The parcel is not split and the stones are not sold separately.
How should I orient these rough pieces for cutting?
Look for areas of highest transparency and check the crystal axes to minimise waste. Wet sanding and standard diamond lapidary equipment will yield the best results when shaping.
Are these pieces suitable for wire wrapping?
Yes, many lapidaries and wire artists use raw beryl to create organic, textured jewellery pieces. The natural exterior contours provide secure anchor points for various wire gauges.
What is the durability of the finished material?
With strong resistance to scratching, finished items suit daily wear when mounted securely in protective settings. Take care to avoid sharp impacts against hard surfaces.
What colour variation can I expect in this parcel?
The lots display typical beryl shades ranging from very pale icy blue to soft greenish blue hues. Natural variations occur organically across different specimens within the parcel.
How long does delivery take, and can I return it?
We contact you directly as soon as your order is placed to arrange delivery, so you always know where the parcel is. Returns are accepted within 7 days of the date you receive the item.
Are your stones natural, or are any of them synthetic?
Everything we sell is 100% natural. We do not deal in synthetic or laboratory-grown material, and we do not hide anything about a piece: the photographs are shot to show every detail, including the ones a seller might prefer you did not see.
Are the stones in the photographs the ones I will be sent?
Yes. Every parcel is weighed and photographed as a group before it is listed, and once it sells the listing comes down.
