SUPER lot of Sea-Foam to Swiss Blue Aquamarine from Nigeria.  This is a great lot of mostly cabbing grade material; however, roughly 25% of the rough is some type of facet grade. The color on this lot for the most part is a nice medium dark color and I'm confident the purchaser will be very pleased at the overall value of the lot. This was sent to us as a sample from Nigeria and we are contemplating on whether we should purchase more of this material. Most of the stones are slightly to heavily included; however, there are VERY gemmy areas in much of the rough. There are plenty of stones in here that will cut eye-clean with a little work; however, most clean stones are going to be in the 2 carat or under range.

This is a great lot containing both cabbing and faceting rough! We are selling this lot as cab grade and you should purchase it as such. You will have to cob and saw this material up to get all the facet rough out and in some stones it may not be worth it because of size. This is a great deal as it is rare to get this color naturally in Aquamarine. This lot is a great value and 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 dept of the Sea-Foam color).
