The Meaning and History of Aquamarine
Aquamarine, derived from the Latin words "aqua" (water) and "marina" (sea), has long been associated with the calming essence of the ocean. Ancient sailors believed it was a treasure of mermaids, offering protection and safe passage across stormy seas. In medieval times, aquamarine was thought to enhance foresight and intelligence, making it a favored gemstone for scholars and visionaries.
This gemstone is a variety of the mineral beryl, the same family that includes emeralds. With its delicate shades ranging from pale blue to deep turquoise, aquamarine evokes the crystal-clear waters of tropical paradises, making it a timeless choice for jewelry lovers.
