Aquamarine Raw Crystals with Black Tourmaline (1-2 Inch - A Grade - 12-20 Pieces Per Pound) Ethically Sourced from Namibia

Unlike many commercially available aquamarines that undergo heat treatment or dyeing to artificially enhance their color, our stones retain their authentic greenish-blue hues, just as nature intended.

Each piece is an A-grade fractured fragment from larger aquamarine crystals, making them rare and unique. These raw formations showcase the high translucency and natural color variation that define genuine, untreated aquamarine—a gemstone prized for its calming energy and connection to the element of water. This variety often has black tourmaline inclusions (approximately 80% of the material), a very rare combination with aquamarine.

Each stone carries its own distinct shape, matrix, and vibrational energy, making it a one-of-a-kind addition to any crystal collection, wire-wrapping project, or metaphysical practice.
