About This Aquamarine

Aquamarine is a blue to blue-green variety of beryl within the Silicates family.

Sourced through a community partnership in Huíla, Angola.

Historically prized by sailors as a protective stone at sea; its name comes from the Latin for 'seawater,' and it has been used in jewelry and trade for over two thousand years.

Traditionally Used For

In the tradition, Aquamarine shows up most often around clear communication, courage, and finding calm during uncertainty. It's traditionally linked to the Throat and Heart chakras. If that resonates, keep a piece nearby when you need to speak clearly or navigate a difficult situation. Trust what feels useful and leave the rest.

These are traditional associations drawn from historical practice. This stone is not a substitute for medical or mental health care.

Good to Know

Questions Before You Buy

Is this real aquamarine, and is it heated, dyed or treated?

Natural aquamarine from Huíla, Angola. Heat treatment is near-universal in the commercial aquamarine market, used to shift the natural greenish-blue toward a purer blue. Reach out before ordering if treatment confirmation is important for your purchase.

Will I get the exact pieces in the photos?

You'll receive pieces from the same batch photographed, weighed to the amount you choose. Every piece passes our quality control and meets or exceeds what you see in the photos. Single specimens are listed separately and say so.

What size are the pieces, and how many are in a pound?

Each piece measures 0.25 to 0.5 inches on its longest side and weighs 0.25 to 1 grams. About 400 to 800 pieces per pound at this size, and each option shows its piece count.

What does A grade mean?

Grade A polished chips, sold by weight. Pale to medium blue with the translucency typical of beryl. Grades reflect visual quality within a batch. A is standard, with typical inclusions. AA shows stronger color, cleaner surfaces and tighter sizing. AAA is the top 10 to 15 percent of a batch. Every lot is inspected and graded by our team in Rockville, Maryland, not taken on the supplier’s word.

Where does it come from, and how do you know?

Angola. It came to us through a community partnership, one of the sourcing models we publish and stand behind.
