Aquamarine has long been adored for its serene blue hues and storied past. But beyond its beauty lies a world of extraordinary discoveries, epic stones and tales of fate that seem almost too incredible to be true. 

In this second instalment of Aquamarine Tales (see here for part I), we uncover stories of some of the most incredible aquamarines ever found. From a serendipitous mountaintop discovery in Mozambique to the legendary Dom Pedro aquamarine, which found its place in gemstone history, and, finally, the exquisite Brazilian stones that became part of Queen Elizabeth II’s iconic necklace, these stories celebrate the power of aquamarine to connect people, shape destinies and inspire generations.
