MAINE AQUAMARINE/GOSHENITE - 8 x 6 mm Oval - Fuller Mountain Mine - Phippsburg Maine - Natural & Untreated - Made Between Maine & Massachusetts This gemstone comes from the Fuller Mountain Mine in Phippsburg Maine. Goshenite or White Beryl is the white to colorless variety of Beryl. Goshenite is sometimes called White Emerald. Beryl is a family of gemstones best known for Emerald & Aquamarine, as well as the lesser-known Heliodor (Gold & Yellow Beryl) & Morganite (Pink Beryl). These natural gemstones are noticeably light blue in some light sources & colorless in other light sources. This Beryl gemstone has a tiny amount of iron which influences a very faint, almost unnoticeable blue-green color. Because the color is so faint, I listed this material as Aquamarine/Goshenite. Blue-green beryl is Aquamarine, colorless beryl is Goshenite. Maine & New Hampshire Aquamarine falls within the light to medium side of the color range. They are collector gemstones. All mining locales have limited production. They are not big commercial ventures. This Facetted Oval weighs 1.31 carats. This Aqua measures 8 x 6 x 4 mm or approximately 5/16 x 1/4 x 3/16 of an inch. The crystal used to cut this aquamarine from is natural & untreated. This gemstone is basically eye clean, with slight inclusions under magnification. This Gemstone has been SUPER POLISHED. We're using a 21st Century polishing technique to SUPER POLISH Gemstones exceptionally brighter than what is normally seen by the public. Gemstones can look different under different types of light. The redder background images were taken with incandescent house light while the other images used a Daylight LED light source. Sunlight is the best light to view most gemstones. Unfortunately, we rarely have sunlight & blue skies in Maine, so outdoor photos are nearly impossible to take. Our prices are at wholesale. A Gift box is included with this purchase.
