Product Name | Museum-Grade Collection | 16.99ct Super Santa Maria Emerald-Cut Aquamarine
Product Introduction
In the gemstone world, aquamarine is widely known as the March birthstone and the legendary “Mermaid’s Stone,” symbolizing lasting happiness and limitless freedom. The term Santa Maria, originally associated with exceptional aquamarine from Brazil’s Santa Maria de Itabira mining region, has become synonymous with exceptionally rich, saturated, and pure blue color.
This magnificent 16.99-carat aquamarine beautifully expresses the highly prized “Super Santa Maria” color style. Its blue is deep and oceanic while retaining remarkable transparency and purity, as though the serenity and clarity of the Atlantic Ocean were captured within the gemstone.
The stone is fashioned in a classic emerald cut, a style particularly suited to highlighting exceptional transparency and elegant light movement. Its highly transparent crystal allows light to pass cleanly through the stone, creating a powerful glass-like luster and an icy, luminous brilliance.
Accompanied by a GUILD international gemological laboratory certificate, this extraordinary aquamarine combines impressive size, distinguished color, and exceptional visual clarity. More than a fine gemstone, it offers strong appeal as a prestigious collector’s piece and potential family heirloom. As with all gemstones, however, future investment or resale value can vary and is not guaranteed.

Notes
Natural gemstones may display individual variations in color, internal characteristics, growth patterns, and inclusions. These are normal features of natural formation and contribute to the individuality of each gemstone.
Descriptions regarding “energy,” protection, healing, communication, or other metaphysical effects reflect traditional gemstone beliefs and symbolism rather than scientifically established effects. The term “Santa Maria” describes a highly prized aquamarine color tradition and should not by itself be interpreted as proof that this particular gemstone originated from Brazil unless the laboratory report specifically states that origin.
