Hello! I’ve been eyeballing some aquamarines lately & I luuuuuv emerald cut stones so when I saw this one I thought it would be love at first sight. I’m pretty sure it is not a top color aqua & I’m ok with that but I was hoping it would be a little more blue (like the vendor pic), not quite so lightly saturated. I asked for a hand shot & was sent one very quickly! But I opened the email & felt meh. The cut looks nice, the color lacking. The price is considerably higher than I’ve paid for other gems in my small collection so I knew my heart would have to sing for me to get it. I’m just wondering though, is this specimen typical of most aquas on the market as far as color & clarity? Am I passing on a really nice stone or is it meh like I initially felt? Thank you for helping me learn and further my budding colored stone obsession!
