Aquamarine

Gemological info: Aquamarine is a form of beryl recognizable by its delicate blue or otherwise turquoise color. The greenish blue tint is suggestive of sea water color, hence the name Aquamarine (aqua marina stands for “water of the sea”). The deeper the blue, the higher the value of the gemstone. The deeper blue is achieved via a process of gradually heating the stone. Aquamarine is found in metamorphic and igneous rocks in many different parts of the world.
