Does every aquamarine come with a lab report?

Not automatically. Any stone can go for independent lab testing if you ask, and you see the report before you pay.

What will the lab report on aquamarine tell me?

It names the stone, says whether it is natural or synthetic, and lists any treatment the lab can detect, together with weight and measurements.

Aquamarine (Beruj) with an Independent Lab Report بیروج

In short: A lab report on beruj confirms the stone is natural beryl, not the blue topaz, synthetic spinel or glass that often gets sold under its name. It may also note gentle heating, which most aquamarine receives to remove a green tint. Message us any aquamarine's link on WhatsApp and you see the report before you pay.

Good fake aquamarine is uncommon, but blue topaz and glass are regularly sold in its place. An independent lab report confirms that a beruj is natural beryl and records any treatment.

What a lab looks at in aquamarine

Identity: refractive index and density tell aquamarine apart from blue topaz, synthetic spinel and glass.
Heating: most aquamarine is gently heated to clear away a greenish tint. The result is stable and widely accepted, and the report may mention it.
Lab-grown beryl: hydrothermal synthetic beryl is made, and under magnification it shows tell-tale growth patterns.
Filled cracks: resin in fractures is not common in aquamarine, but the lab checks for it anyway.

Asking for a report

Choose a stone from our aquamarine collection and message us its link on WhatsApp. We will explain how that particular stone would be tested, and the report reaches you before you pay a rupee. You can do the same with blue topaz, topaz and sapphire. There is more on our lab-certified gemstones page.
