The name is derived from the Latin aqua marinus, meaning “water of the sea.” Its breathtaking colour, ranging from a delicate, pale morning blue to a deep blue-green; is a masterpiece of nature, caused by trace amounts of iron within the crystal.
As a variety of Beryl, the Aquamarine shares its distinguished mineral family with the Emerald and Morganite. Whether in a classic Emerald cut or a modern trillion cut, its clarity is its greatest strength.
