According to Jeff, the award-winning lapidary artist, this was by far the largest Aquamarine he had ever cut from this rare locale in the USA.
He found the rough during his 2022 Tucson trip, and it could be seen in his photo of roughs he purchased during this trip surrounding his ATGA pass in the top right hand corner (the largest rough closest to the badge clip).
Despite some inclusions, which were expected, this stone also finished out cleaner than he had anticipated.

The first photo is a screenshot of the video he made for this stone.
The second photo is the roughs he picked up during his 2022 Tucson trip, and my Aquamarine rough is the largest one closest to the badge clip.

Jeff has made a video of the finished stone which can be found via this link. It was shot outside, slightly influenced by the sky overhead. However, when the stone is rocked back towards the left, one should be able to see the lighter icy blue that is more indicative of the true body colour of the stone as mentioned in Jeff's e-mail to me.

I am a private seller aka dk*** on PS the message board for jewellery, and this gemstone is one of the custom-cut pieces I had commissioned and collected since 2015.
