Awesome 100% NATURAL Pastel Blue to Santa Maria Blue TOP Aquamarine Faceting Rough lot from Nigeria. This lot represents some of the fruits of our labor on our recent Trip to Nigeria and we are hopeful of establishing a steady supply of this in the future. This is some of the best material we have gotten a hold of in well over a year as far as African Aquamarine goes at a reasonable price. Overall 1/4 of the material is Pale to Pastel in color while the remainder is Medium to Darker colored. The Nigerians have some insane prices for this material and the only reason we can price this as we have is due to our trip to Nigeria. Most Nigerians are charging $20+ Per Gram for this caliber material on average and even more Per Gram for the darker stones in the parcel.

This is select material and the the bulk of this lot should yield eye-clean or better with a little hard work; however, a few stones do have some inclusions that you will need to plan for before faceting. This Lot is largely composed of nice and chunky crystals and/or crystal sections capable of giving above average weight returns. We are confident that you will get some killer stones out of this lot with little effort. This is NOT small material and the average size is 6.50 Carats! This is a great deal as we don't really know anyone who is selling this material at this price IN Nigeria at the moment! This is a give away at our price and a deal not to be missed!

1. Nigeria has been producing some of the darkest Aquamarine available in the market and has begun to eclipse some of the traditional deposits in Latin America and Eastern Europe in volume. Many of the Sea-Foam stones from Nigeria also treat to a beautiful icy to medium dark blue in color (depending on the depth of the Sea-Foam color).
