Aquamarine

Named after seawater, Aquamarine’s fresh watery hue is a cool plunge into a refreshing pool.  Aquamarine’s name is derived from the Latin word for seawater and it was said to calm waves and keep sailors safe at sea.  Like Emerald, Aquamarine is a colour variety of the mineral beryl. The best gems combine high clarity with limpid transparency and blue to slightly greenish blue hues.
