Lab-Grown Aqua Blue Spinel
The gem of friendship.
In 2012, Chatham introduced the aqua colored variety of spinel, to our lab grown color menu. The goal was to capture the beauty and soothing attributes of aquamarine - a highly sought after gemstone. Since aquamarine beryl follows a complex crystal structure, it is more efficient to grow a spinel in the striking aqua blue that makes this gem so desirable.
Chatham’s loose stone category is exclusively wholesale. We will gladly connect you with one of our Authorized Gemstone Retailers through our Concierge Service, or you can visit our Store Locator for a retailer near you.
