Cleaning & Maintaining Your Aquamarine Jewellery
The hardness and durability of gem stones is measured on a Mohs scale. The scale is based on the relative ease of difficulty with which one mineral can be scratched by another. It is worth noting the Mohs scale is deceptive. Diamond is measured at 10 just one number away from the corundum family. But is many times harder than the gems in the Corundum family.
Aquamarine is 7.5 – 8 on this scale. Therefore it is a durable gemstone as long as you treat it with the care and attention this stunning Gem stone deserves.
