Aquamarine

/ˌækwəməˈriːn//ˌɑːkwəməˈriːn/

The word "aquamarine" originates from the Latin words "aqua" meaning water and "marine" meaning sea. In mythology, aquamarine was said to be a gemstone that only appeared in the foam of the sea. The stone was believed to be the treasure of the mermaids and was said to have been created by the gods to protect sailors and bring them good fortune. The term "aquamarine" was first used in the 14th century to describe a gemstone that is a blue-green color, similar to the ocean. The gemstone is actually a type of beryl, a mineral that is also found in emeralds and morganites. Aquamarine is a relatively rare gemstone, but it is highly prized for its beautiful color and sparkle.
