Natural aquamarine sphere, 48.05 ct (18.7 mm), from Shigar valley, Skardu, Pakistan; untreated.

AI-assisted summary

Description from the seller

This beautiful aquamarine sphere delights with its clear, fresh blue and a fascinating depth effect. Through the fully polished surface, light can enter the stone and brings out the natural structures, fine inclusions, and varying blue tones especially beautifully.

The name aquamarine comes from the Latin aqua marina and means “sea water” – a designation that perfectly describes its characteristic color. Aquamarine belongs to the beryl family, which also includes emerald. Its blue to blue-green hues arise from iron in the mineral.

The ball shape is particularly appealing, as it makes the stone experienceable from every angle. The strong polish creates a beautiful shine, while natural structures remain visible inside. It is precisely these small features that make each ball a unique natural specimen.

Traditionally, aquamarine is associated with calm, clarity, serenity, and harmony. For a long time it has also been regarded as the stone of seafarers and has been symbolically linked to protection on journeys across the sea. These meanings originate from historical and spiritual traditions.

Thanks to its compact size, this aquamarine sphere is wonderfully suitable as a small collectible, decorative mineral object, or a special gift. On a suitable stand and with targeted lighting, its delicate, glowing blue is displayed very elegantly.

A small aquamarine sphere with a big radiance – natural, elegant and unique. A fascinating piece of nature for every lover of special gems and minerals.
