Exclusive access to century’s first gemstone discovery – Aquaprase

When the #IndianaJones of our Gem industry has a #ChristopherColumbus moment, a new gemstone gets discovered.

Meet Aquaprase – a unique blue-green colored 100% natural gemstone, discovered by the sheer talent and perseverance of Yianni Melas. 

As Antoinette Matlins, PG, FGA (Hon), Author wrote in her latest book, “#Aquaprase is the first gemstone discovery of the 21st Century.”

Shades of the earth, sky and sea merge together to remind you of the Aegean and the tropics, Aquaprase is about nature’s blend of color. Where imperfection is perfection evoking a strong calming effect, no gem ever discovered personifies the earth better than Aquaprase. 
Extremely hard, durable and rare, this gemstone is only found in one square kilometer in Africa and so far, nothing has been discovered around it.

“You think of all the most miserable places on Earth and that’s where God sprinkled gemstones. It’s like he put them there in hopes that the people could make something of their lives from them.” – Yianni Melas, 2005 

Our co-founder Manuj Goyal‘s 30-year-old association with Yianni allows us exclusive access to this rare gemstone.
