Aquamarine
Aquamarine gemstones are blue beryl. The
presence of iron can cause the beryl to turn blue thus becoming aquamarine. The
name "aquamarine" means "sea water: in Latin, alluding to its
colour. Most natural-colour Aquamarine is light bluish-green.
Prior to the 1900's, this was the preferred colour for aquamarine.
Today it's routinely heat-treated to remove the green component,
thereby producing a permanently coloured blue stone. The more
intense the blue colour the more valuable the stone. For more
