A strand of approximately 38 cm of small faceted round AA-quality aquamarine beads, in a translucent sky blue crossed with fine milky veils. Carefully cut, the facets catch the light like the surface of clear water.
Features :
This fine gauge is suitable for delicate necklaces, stacked bracelets, rosary chains and minimalist earrings; aquamarine naturally pairs with silver tones and brightens next to gold. 0.5 mm fine hole : plan on a 0.3 mm nylon thread, a fine cable or a bead needle.
One-off selection : this AA quality comes from a one-time arrival. It will not be restocked once this lot is sold out.
A bit of gemology : aquamarine is the blue variety of beryl, a beryllium and aluminum silicate, Be₃Al₂Si₆O₁₈, cousin of emerald. It crystallizes in the hexagonal system, has a hardness of 7.5 to 8 on the Mohs scale and a density of about 2.7. Its color is due to traces of iron: ferrous iron gives blue, ferric iron a greenish tint. In beads, the AA grade denotes a quality above standard grades: a deeper and more even color, better translucency. Its name comes from the Latin aqua marina, “sea water.” The main deposits are found in Brazil (Minas Gerais), Madagascar, Mozambique, Nigeria and Pakistan.
Good to know : aquamarine is often heated at low temperature to reduce its green reflections and reveal a purer blue; this common, stable treatment cannot be ruled out here. It can be cleaned with warm soapy water and a soft cloth.
In lithotherapy : aquamarine is associated with the throat chakra. A stone of sailors, who wore it to cross the seas safely, it is credited with virtues of calm, clarity and ease of expression.
The strand you will receive : the photos and video show a strand from the lot your order comes from. Color, inclusions and shades are therefore representative of what you will receive; since each stone is natural, slight variations from one bead to another are part of its character.
100% natural product : size, shape, color and number of beads may vary slightly from one strand to another. Dimensions and quantities are given for information only.
