If you raise only one thing with an aquamarine seller, make it heat. Heating the rough to cut green and sharpen the blue is a common step in this family. It is not a flaw, but it should be disclosed, and a careful buyer asks.

What we can say about this stone is below. For anything more, ask us on WhatsApp and mention AG-000286.

The stone

Natural aquamarine, called beruj in Urdu, weighing 24.8 carats, sea blue. If you want a second opinion on treatment, an independent lab test is your choice.

Because it rates 7.5 to 8 on the Mohs scale, the stone suits a ring, a pendant or a bracelet link. A bezel-style silver mount protects the edges best, and we can discuss a custom silver ring setting on WhatsApp. For a wider choice of weights, browse aquamarine, and read about aquamarine traditions in Pakistan if that interests you.

Cash on Delivery lets you look first; Karachi orders usually arrive in 1–2 working days, other cities in 2–4, and returns are accepted within 7 days.

This particular stone

This listing is one natural aquamarine, known in Urdu as Beruj, with a weight of 24.8 Carat. Its price is Rs. 20,250 — roughly Rs. 817 for each carat. Treatment: treatment not tested. Quote reference AG-000286 when you message us about it. The photographs show this exact stone, so what arrives at your door is the piece you chose on screen.

Above twelve carats you are into collector territory. Pieces this heavy are usually set as pendants or kept loose, and they are prized for the size of rough they came from. If you do set it, choose a bezel or a heavy claw to protect the edges.

On the Mohs scale aquamarine rates 7.5 to 8. It handles daily wear, but a hard knock can still nick an exposed corner, so a protective setting is a sensible choice. Clean it with warm soapy water and a soft brush, and keep it away from abrasive cleaners and high heat.

Whoever you buy aquamarine from, make sure of three things: the stone is natural rather than lab-grown, glass or glass-filled; any treatment is stated in writing; and the weight quoted is the weight of the finished stone. We check every aquamarine for those three points before it is listed, and because you pay on delivery you can look at the stone — or have it tested — before any money changes hands.
