Aquamarine
Belonging to the beryl family and related to emeralds, aquamarines range from the light blue of the sky to the deep blue of the sea and arouse feelings of sympathy, trust, harmony and friendship. Its name is derived from the Latin aqua (water) and mare (sea) and according to folklore, the gemstone originated in the treasure chest of fabulous mermaids, and has, since ancient times, been regarded as the sailors' lucky stone. According to the old traditions, wearing an aquamarine promises a happy marriage and is said to bring the woman who wears it joy and wealth. Almost entirely free of inclusions, aquamarine has a wonderful shine and a hardness that makes it very tough and protects it from scratches to a large extent.
