{"product_id":"aquamarine","title":"Aquamarine - Oval Cut Facet","description":"\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"1\"\u003eThis stunning Aquamarine is cut into a classic 8.9mm by 7mm oval with a 4.8mm height. As the blue-to-blue-green variety of the Beryl family, this stone possesses the iconic \"sea-water\" clarity and cool, tranquil tones for which it is named. The 4.8mm depth is perfectly balanced for an 8.9mm length, providing enough volume to showcase the stone's characteristic vitreous luster and crisp, watery brilliance without being overly bulky in a setting.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"2\"\u003eIts generous size and serene color make it an ideal choice for a sophisticated \"something blue\" engagement ring, a serene solitaire pendant, or a centerpiece in a cool-toned white gold or platinum design.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003chr data-path-to-node=\"3\"\u003e\n\u003ch3 data-path-to-node=\"4\"\u003eKey Properties \u0026amp; Care\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"5\"\u003eLike its sister stone Morganite, Aquamarine is a durable gemstone, but its high clarity means that even a small amount of dirt can be visible through the facets.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul data-path-to-node=\"6\"\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"6,0,0\"\u003e\u003cb data-path-to-node=\"6,0,0\" data-index-in-node=\"0\"\u003eMohs Hardness:\u003c\/b\u003e Aquamarine has a hardness of \u003cb data-path-to-node=\"6,0,0\" data-index-in-node=\"44\"\u003e7.5 to 8\u003c\/b\u003e on the Mohs scale.

Because it is so transparent, any grime on the pavilion (the bottom of the stone) will act like a dark film, making the stone look grey or dull.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"6,2,1,1,0\"\u003e\u003cb data-path-to-node=\"6,2,1,1,0\" data-index-in-node=\"0\"\u003eAvoid High Heat:\u003c\/b\u003e Steer clear of steam cleaners.
