Raw Crystal Gemstone Tea Strainer - Aquamarine

Aquamarine gives this tea strainer its pale blue-green stone, a variety of beryl named from the Latin for sea water. The stainless steel basket holds loose leaf tea over a cup or pot, then lifts out cleanly. Each stone is raw and natural, so the depth of the blue-green tone and the clarity of the piece vary from one strainer to the next.
