- What is it: Aquamarine is a blue variety of beryl. It occurs in most sites which yield ordinary beryl. Well-known varieties of beryl are emeralds and aquamarine. Pure beryl is colorless, but it is frequently tinted by impurities, which range from green, blue, yellow, white, and red (the rarest).
- History: The name "Aquamarine" derives from the latin words aqua marina, meaning "sea water." The ancient Romans believed that aquamarine would protect against dangers while travelling at sea, while providing energy, and cure laziness
- Metaphysical Properties: Aquamarine is believed to be a stone of courage and protection. Used often with the Throat Chakra, Aquamarine can be used to promote verbal self-expression. The metaphysical properties of Aquamarine make it an excellent stone for spiritual healing.
