Comment: Beryl comes in virtually every color of the rainbow. This particular gem is a beautiful pale blue Aquamarine from the Brazilian gem fields. This stone is nearly eye clean with a "Checkerboard Pear" cut. It's a good size stone for a pendant if you so wish, but it would stand alone as a single stone on a shelf or in a gem box. Gem quality Aquas are becoming more and more difficult to buy (for reasonable prices) from Brazil, and it seems that the cost of these gems keeps going up every year.
