Combo of mint tourmaline, aquamarine and blue zircon. Summer vibes with these incredible gems.
Natural zircon is one of the oldest known minerals on our planet. It crystallizes in the upper crust due to fresh magma from the mantle, or from sedimentary rocks that wash into the ocean, sink into the mantle, and re-emerge as granites. Zircons have a hardness of 7.5 and high durability. They can survive numerous geologic events over the eons and even record those events when more zircon material forms around the original core, which becomes a tiny time capsule. Once polished, natural zircon can be mistaken for synthetic cubic zirconia, but zircon is the real deal. A naturally occurring treasure that’s as resilient as your holiday spirit – in the face of endless cookie-baking and gift-wrapping – with a sparkle so bright it could rival your holiday lights. (IGI)
Together with, among others, emerald and morganite, aquamarine belongs to the Beryl family. Aquamarine is derived from the Latin word for seawater. As the name suggests, the stone can vary in colour from greenish-blue to light blue-green. The clarity of aquamarine is also breathtaking. The majority of the stones are very light blue, while a small percentage has an intense blue color. This gemstone symbolizes trust and friendship.
The word tourmaline comes from the Sinhalese word turmali, which means stone with mixed colours. This gemstone comes in nearly all the colours of the rainbow and has high hardness, making it durable and resistant to scratches. Celine incorporates all colour variations of tourmaline such as mint tourmaline in her collections.
