Aquamarine at Petra Star: Sustainable Style
At Petra Star, we're passionate about bringing you ethically sourced gemstones that not only capture the eye but also align with our commitment to sustainability.
This year's Tucson Gem Show was an incredible success, allowing us to connect with suppliers dedicated to responsible mining practices. We're thrilled to share some of the exceptional aquamarines we discovered:
- Colorado Aquamarines: We secured a stunning pair of aquamarines, mined right here in Colorado. Their delicate blue shades reflect the clear mountain skies and pristine waters of their origin.
- Mozambique Aquamarines: Prepare to be mesmerized by the vibrant color and exceptional clarity of our Mozambique aquamarines. We brought back a pair of these extraordinary gems, known for their intense blue hues.
- Santa Maria Aquamarine Beads: For the aquamarine connoisseur, we sourced a strand of faceted beads from the legendary Santa Maria mines. These aquamarines are highly sought after for their exceptional color saturation. Our artisans are currently transforming these beads into a breathtaking necklace that will be a true statement piece.
More Than Just a Pretty Stone: A Legacy of Beauty
Aquamarine, with its mesmerizing blue-green hues, has captivated hearts for centuries. Its name, derived from the Latin "aqua marina" meaning seawater, hints at its connection to the ocean. In ancient times, sailors believed Aquamarine brought them good luck and protection on their voyages. This beautiful gem has been found in jewelry dating back to the 1700's.
Why We Love Aquamarine (and You Will Too):
- A Spectrum of Serenity: From the palest sky blue to deeper, more intense sea greens, Aquamarine offers a range of shades to complement any style.
- Timeless Elegance: Aquamarine's delicate color makes it a versatile choice for both modern and vintage-inspired designs. It pairs beautifully with both silver and gold, lending itself to a variety of settings.

Symbol of Hope and Harmony: Aquamarine is believed to promote calmness, clarity, and courage. It's a stone of tranquility, perfect for those seeking balance in their lives.
