Multicolour GemsMeasuring 71.5 x 28 x 25.3mm and weighing 468.08 carat, this amazing Madagascar #aquamarine specimen is almost too nice to cut. Very clean and well formed crystals like this can be cut with a high yield approaching or even exceeding 40% and this stone will probably cut an octagon in the 180 carat range.
The blue green color is on the dark side for aquamarine and the greenish components are strong indicators that the stone has not been heated. Heating will not darken the tone but will remove the greenish hues leaving the stone more blue. Inevitably this stone will probably fetch a higher price as a cut stone so it will be cut if it is not sold to a collector.
