Picture a tranquil
ocean glistening a cool, serene blue with a
subtle hint of green…that is the color of this
beautiful gemstone.
It is no wonder aquamarine's name literally
translates from the
Latin seawater.
The ancients believed
that drinking water in which an aquamarine had been
soaked would provide great medicinal powers.
Aquamarine was also thought to soothe its wearer
with a
calming effect, similar to that of a placid sea.
A variety of the
mineral, beryl, aquamarine's stunning blue-green
hue is unique. Its color is very complimentary to
both the coolness of platinum and warmth of gold.
