Aquamarine Gem Stone Rough

 

Aquamarine gem stone rough in quality facet grade is one of the highly desirable gems found in Madagascar. We are proud to offer fine aquamarine rough to you.

Aquamarine gem stone rough in flawless and near-flawless crystals are being mined in Madagascar today, and new deposits are being located.

You can now buy Madagascar gem rough directly from a strong source in Madagascar... from our USA office. You can avoid the export and import problems and fees.

Until Madagascar Gems began selling high-grade rough gem stones on the internet, the only way to get good Madagascar aquamarine was to go there.

Capture the vibrant blues of the sea in a stone and you have aquamarine. From light blue to double blue, and bluish green, aquamarine offers irresistible ranges of sea blue colors.

A member of the beryl family, aquamarine is a beautiful, lustrous gem.

Americans tend to prefer the cool bluish tones of "aqua," while many Europeans prefer the greenish-blue (sea foam) variety.

Aquamarine and other gem stone rough prices are based on market prices and what we must pay to the miners. The price we pay the miners considers all of the usual variables... quality, color, size of the pieces, and availability of supply.

We work with the miners to buy for you at a little less than market price. In exchange, we offer them a steady market and occasional financial or other assistance.

Double blue aqua is always significantly more.

Aquamarine gem stone rough  has recently been discovered on one of our mining grounds. This mining ground is located in the remote bush, approximately 2 hours travel by 4x4 east of Tulear.

The deposit appears to be significant, based on preliminary indications. Additional sampling and testing will tell us more about whether and how to best exploit this find for the benefit of Madagascar Gems and the people of the nearby village.
