The treasure of mermaids, with the power to keep sailors safe at sea

Aquamarine, the gem of the sea, is named with the Greek word for sea water. The reference is obvious: aqua sparkles like the sea and its color is pale to medium blue, sometimes with a slight hint of green.

Aquamarine is said to be a particularly strong charm when immersed in water. Aquamarine was also said to have a soothing influence on land, especially on married couples. Its power to help husbands and wives work out their differences and ensure a long and happy marriage makes it a good anniversary gift.

Aquamarine is always a pastel but the darker the color, the more valued it is. Conoisseurs also prefer a pure blue, with no green in it. If you prefer a greenish tinge, you will find that these stones are less expensive. Because the color is generally pale, aquamarine should have a good clarity.
These stones are often cut in ovals and emerald cuts. More saturated colors are unusual in small sizes; usually it takes some

size for the color to hold in a darker shade.
Aquamarine is a durable and lively gemstone that is appropriate
for all jewelry uses. Its pale fire is flattering to most skin tones:

even if you're not a mermaid, you'll want to add it to your
treasure chest.
