What is Aquamarine Stone?

Aquamarine, the mineral beryl’s blue or greenish-blue hue, is one of the most common coloured gemstones. It is highly prized for its exceptional hardness (7.5 to 8 on the Mohs scale), delicate colour, and superior clarity. Additionally, it is one of the few fine gemstones available in large sizes at reasonable prices.

Aquamarine Price

Aquamarine prices can differ significantly, so it is critical to consider the quality variables that influence price. As is the case for all gemstones, the “four C’s” — colour, clarity, carat weight, and cut — all have an impact on the price and value. However, colour is important in the case of aquamarine.

Aquamarine Clarity

Since the majority of aquamarine cut as fine gemstones is very clean glass, the majority of high-quality aquamarines on the market have outstanding clarity grades. Due to aquamarine’s clarity and light colour, inclusions are highly apparent and can detract from the gem’s elegance. The majority of high-grade aquamarines are rated “loupe clean” or “almost loupe clean,” which means that any inclusions are invisible to the naked eye.

Color and carat weight are the primary price differentiators. Aquas range in colour from blue to green, but the most valuable are the pure blues. Due to the fact that green aquamarines are often heated to remove the yellow, a clean unheated blue aquamarine with strong colour saturation is a rare and precious jewel.

While all aquamarines are pastel in hue, some of the more affordable gems are very pale. Darker-toned aquamarines usually dominate the market’s top values.

Aquamarine Price in World Wide?

Aquamarines under 5 carats in decent condition can be found for between $100 and $250 per carat. Unless the colour saturation is exceptionally high, greenish-blue stones would typically be priced at the lower end of the market.

It is uncommon to see aquamarines with darker blues under 5 carats. Owing to the longer light line, larger stones have a darker colour, and the rates for top colours are much higher due to a premium for both colour and scale.

Larger aquamarines are priced between $500 and $900 per carat. The most saturated colours dominate the best values, with rare Santa Maria aquamarines in fine condition fetching over $2,000 per carat. Color saturation, on the other hand, should not be confused with tone. Some of these darker toned aquas have a significant amount of grey and are thus much less appealing than lighter toned diamonds with a purer blue. Therefore, pick the aquamarine in the hue that most applies to you.
