AQUAMARINE

Aquamarine is a popular gemstone often used in jewelry due to its unique color and durability. The name "aquamarine" comes from the Latin word "aqua," meaning water, and "mare," meaning sea. This name is fitting, as the gemstone is typically a pale blue or blue-green color, similar to the color of the sea. Aquamarine is a type of beryl, which is a mineral that also includes emeralds and morganite. It is usually found in granite and mica rocks and can be found in many locations around the world including Brazil, Russia, Pakistan, and the United States. The most valuable aquamarine stones are typically those that are a deep, rich blue color. However, paler stones can also be quite beautiful and are often used in jewelry.
