The
name aquamarine is derived from the Latin word aqua, meaning water, and marina,
meaning the sea. This gemstone was
believed to protect sailors, as well as to guarantee a safe voyage. The serene color of aquamarine is said to
cool the temper, allowing the wearer to remain calm and levelheaded. Its pale, cool color beautifully complements
spring and summer wardrobes. Aquamarine
is most often light in tone and ranges from greenish blue to blue-green; the
color usually is more intense in larger stones. This gemstone is mined mainly in Brazil, but
also is found in Nigeria, Madagascar, Zambia, Pakistan, and Mozambique.
