Pale Blue Aquamarine Polished Pebble from Brazil

Pale blue gives way to slightly deeper, mottled patches through the center and lower portion of this aquamarine from Brazil. Its elongated, irregular outline has rounded edges, while the polished surface catches bright reflections.

The interior leans toward opaque, with a little translucency. For Joun, the overlapping shades of blue suggest thin ice—a quiet impression best explored by turning the pebble in the palm. Some minor cracks are present within the stone.

Aquamarine is the blue to greenish-blue variety of beryl. Here, the interest lies in its uneven color and softly clouded appearance rather than clear transparency. Keep it out of direct sunlight, and handle it gently: beryl is hard but brittle and can chip if knocked.
