Thank you for my aquamarine. I was so hoping for a chunky, cloudy, ocean-y specimen exactly like this one. 💛

Ethical Sourcing Requires Transparency

Supply Chain for Aquamarine

Lapidary / Gem Dealer

This supplier is a small wholesaler who specializes in only a few gems, including Libyan Desert Glass. His source is the Egyptian miner and he was able to share specific details from an ethics perspective.

Sourcing Relationship

I met this supplier at the 2022 Denver Show. One of the gems on my Wish List was Libyan Desert Glass and I was actively on the hunt for it. I had already spoken to a few potential suppliers and dismissed them from an ethics perspective. The story I kept hearing was that the main supplier in the industry is a Moroccan wholesaler. That supplier lives more than 1000 miles from the source and it seems likely that this rare yellow gem is being traded without proper legal paperwork. When I met my supplier, I asked about his source and was delighted to learn it was Egyptian miner in the Great Sand Sea with the legal rights to mine and trade. We happily discussed ethical issues openly, which is rare and refreshing.

Mine

This Aquamarine comes from artisanal miners in the Karur District, Tamil Nadu, India. The Aquamarine is sometimes found in association with Ruby and Sapphire. It is also dug up by farmers while plowing and then sold to traveling gem dealers. In both cases, it has a low environmental impact and is relatively low risk for miners.

Lapidary / Gem Dealer

This lapidary hand-polishes stones in Mumbai, India. It is a woman-owned and family-run business. Factory workers are paid fairly. The Lapidary is also an exporter that sells at gem shows in the United States and Japan.

Sourcing Relationship

I first met this source at the 2014 Tucson Gem Show. It was my first buying trip for my own store and I was nervous. Most lapidary owners were brisk and impatient with my questions, especially when I asked about the mines and the supply chains. But one man stood out to me as particularly patient and kind. He had been a wholeseller for over twenty years, yet he was happy to meet someone brand-new to the industry.

He took time to talk to me about the stones. They came from his home country of India and he was able to tell me exactly which state or territory each one came from and some of the conditions at the individual mines. When I told him that I wanted to source ethically, he said that it would be difficult, but that it was a worthwhile challenge. He made me feel like I could succeed, both at ethical sourcing and at being a business owner. I looked forward to a long business relationship with him. Sadly, he died suddenly in 2016.

I stayed in touch with his family and in 2017 met his wife, teenage daughter, and his father. This three-generation family has picked up the pieces and learned how to run the business. His wife had never worked before, but she gracefully stepped into her new role as a business owner. Her father-in-law offers practical and moral support, but makes sure that everyone knows that SHE is the boss and that checks should be written directly to her. The family continues to be supportive of my efforts to ethically source. More than any other lapidary, they are willing to speak openly with me about the difficult parts of the industry. They have invited me to visit them in India, to visit the mines and their lapidary. The daughter is now a GIA (Gemological Institute of America) Graduate and is interested in reiki and other healing modalities. As she has grown up, she has become increasingly concerned about ethical issues.

What is Ethical Sourcing?

Aquamarine Healing, Mineralogy, and History

Published May 2014 • Updated August 2024 • Read Time: 7 minutes
Aquamarine is the blue variety of Beryl, and very closely related to Emerald. Aquamarine is found scattered in mines around the world, but never in large enough quantities to justify its own mine. Instead it is a secondary mineral minded alongside others minerals such as Black Tourmaline. In the fine gemstone industry, transparent Aquamarine is sometimes heat-treated to bring out a more vibrant color, but most of the specimens sold to collectors are completely natural. Aquamarine healing powers have been written about since antiquity and it has long been associated with mermaids and sailors. […]

Thank you for my aquamarine. I was so hoping for a chunky, cloudy, ocean-y specimen exactly like this one. 💛
Justin W (Georgia) – April 22, 2024

The Aquamarine is a bit cloudy, but that does give it a nice “stormy see Aquamarine” feel, and the sparkles and the heft of the stone are very nice. Overall a good edition.
