Aquamarines

Is it ironic that here on the edge of the Namib desert the most valuable stone we find near our Ûiba Ôas Crystals Market is the aquamarine?  Aquamarines, like emeralds and dioptase, are beryls, and are distinguished by their beautiful sea-blue color.  Like the sea, they can enchant you.

This sizeable aquamarine was a great find for a hard-working miner.

Legend has it that aquamarines can calm rough waves and keep sailors safe.  As lovely as they are, we don't recommend relying on them for that!




They contrast beautifully with locally-mined black tourmaline.

The excitement we feel on discovering an aquamarine out at the site is great.  We hope you'll feel something similar when you discover these mystical gems at our market.

A great rock specimen for a collector - experienced or just beginning.

Our Aqua Stars soccer team is named for our most precious stone!  They would love to meet you at our market - and maybe share a few passes.

Thanks to Kickin' Back for their support of the Aqua Stars.
