Aquamarine wholesales to the trade today for approx. $8 for a 1 cwt stone of very low grade quality to approx. $700 for a one carat example of extra fine quality. The price goes up to approx. $1,200 per cwt. for extra fine larger examples. The retail price will be several times that, depending on the retailers markup. My price is always well below retail replacement found in bricks and mortar stores. I used to buy directly from the source. No middlemen. BIG difference.

Aquamarine is the birthstone for those born in March. The name comes from the Latin for water of the sea, and was considered a good luck talisman by ancient sailors. it is said to have a calming influence and be good luck for the wearer, and is said to inspire truth. gem for those born in March.

I have been a gemologist for decades and I am now retired and do this to raise funds for animal sanctuaries.

The retail replacement figure is designed for bricks and mortar jewelers with high overheads.

NOTE: Supply and demand rules in true gem buying as in every other human investment. Each earth mined gem is a unique work of art, unlike the lab produced stones that can be produced in unlimited quantities. Some people will never understand why people buy an original work of art when they can buy a poster for next to nothing. Earth mined gems are for those that do. Invest in quality.
