"I have never been an aquamarine fan, but had to have one of these Santa Maria stones. I am so glad I bought one. I was pleasantly surprised to see the sparkle and fire coming out of the gem box before I even opened it. It is a beautiful stone. I wish I had more. Last night on a very pricey jewelry channel, they were selling the same stones(old mine stones they said) for more than I paid. I think my stone is better."
