Aquamarine Tea Infuser with Raw Crystal
The pale blue of aquamarine evokes the tranquillity of a calm seashore — its very name means „sea water” in Latin. This tea infuser pairs a premium stainless steel mesh basket with a raw aquamarine charm on a delicate chain; a particularly elegant and understated piece. Aquamarine belongs to the beryl mineral family and, with its natural blue-greenish blue tones, is one of the most sought-after semi-precious stones in the world.

Characteristics
Aquamarine's natural pale blue to blue-green shade is the result of its iron content and internal crystal structure. The raw, unpolished form preserves the stone's natural, irregular surface and original beauty. The silvery tones of the steel mesh and the blue-green play of the aquamarine create an elegant, understated combination — one of the most refined pieces in the series.
How to Use
Fill the mesh basket with loose-leaf tea, place it over your mug and pour hot water. After steeping for 3–5 minutes, lift out the basket using the chain. Rinse under running water and wipe the aquamarine charm with a damp cloth. Aquamarine is relatively hard (Mohs 7.5–8), but prolonged soaking should still be avoided.

The Aquamarine Tea Infuser stands out in the series for its understated elegance. It fits beautifully into blue and green home environments, as well as coastal and nature-themed kitchens. An excellent gift choice: aquamarine is one of the most recognisable and beloved semi-precious stones — its blue-greenish beauty appeals to almost everyone. An elegant, non-ostentatious choice.
