Once upon a time\u2026 and so the discovery story of the elegant Aquaprase\u2122 begins, one would think. Contrary to this, Aquaprase\u2122 is a very newly discovered jewel hidden inside the earth, recently exposed in a remote location in Africa.<\/p>\n\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t<\/div>\n\n\t

In 2013, veteran gem explorer Yianni Melas discovered a brand new blue-green gem in Africa. Over the years people had stumbled upon this stone during their exploits and everyone seemed to have different thoughts on what it was — some thought it was Opal, others thought it to be Chrysoprase and some believed it was Chrysocolla.\u00a0 No one really saw any worth in it, but Melas took a pebble with him and was determined to find out where it came from and what it was. Seeking to get a final, conclusive word on what he held, in 2015 Melas sent a sample to the Gemological Institute of America (GIA).\u00a0 Eventually, he received a phone call that said he had found \u201csomething incredible.\u201d\u00a0 It was not a chrysoprase or a chrysocolla. It was a chalcedony that has never been discovered before.<\/p>\n

The uniqueness of the find led Mr. Melas to setup the mine and start the mining operation, followed by Manufacturing and distribution of the stone being controlled by Avant Chordia.<\/p>\n

After discovery of the stone as part of the efforts to market the final product and ensure that consumers could be confident that the blue-green chalcedony they were purchasing was guaranteed to be 100% natural and untreated, it was decided to coin\u00a0the mark AQUAPRASE\u2122, because it was suggestive of the variety of blue colors found in the stone while giving a nod to the waters of the Aegean Sea and the lush green vegetation surrounding Greece, Melas\u2019 homeland.\u00a0 Subsequently it was decided to jointly register AQUAPRASE\u2122 as a trademark to market this bluish green\u00a0chalcedony.<\/p>\n

Because of Applicant\u2019s control of the mine and the rough stones that come out of it, in particular the blue-green chalcedony, is mined, distributed and marketed as AQUAPRASE\u2122.<\/p>\n\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>
