A magnificent 31-carat natural aquamarine from Madagascar, showcasing the highly sought-after Santa Maria bluecolor — a vivid, oceanic blue prized in fine gemstone collections. This gemstone exhibits excellent transparency and lustre with clean faceting that enhances its brilliance and depth of color. As a member of the beryl family, aquamarine’s name derives from the Latin aqua marina (“sea water”), reflecting its serene blue hue evocative of pristine tropical waters. While the traditional “Santa Maria” name originated from Brazilian sources, Madagascar is now known for producing gems with similar rich blue saturation and large sizes. This specimen is ideal for high-end jewelry designs, investment collections, or museum-grade stones.
