During the 1980’s we operated one of the world’s top Aquamarine mines
at the foot of the Nyambeni Hills in Kenya, so Aquamarine is a gemstone
very close to our hearts
Africa produces some wonderful Aquamarines with Kenya and Tanzania both producing gorgeous sky blue stones. Recently, a deposit of very fine Aquamarine was discovered in Mozambique with a gorgeous deep hue which has been nicknamed “Santa Maria Afrique” in the trade as they closely resemble their Brazilian cousins from the Santa Maria district.
