Aquamarine

Aquamarine belongs to the beryl mineral family — the same group as emerald. It forms in coarse-grained granite and pegmatite veins, growing as long hexagonal crystals in cavities where mineral-rich fluids cooled slowly over millions of years. The blue-green color comes from trace iron within the crystal structure. Brazil is the primary source of fine aquamarine worldwide. Pakistan’s Karakoram Range, Madagascar, and Russia’s Ural Mountains also yield exceptional stones — often with a stronger blue and excellent clarity.

The name is Latin: aqua marina, water of the sea. Which is exact. Clear, cool, somewhere between blue and green depending on the angle and light. It cuts cleanly and wears without effort. For people who move easily through the world — communicators, travelers, those who adapt without losing themselves. Wear it near water, or when you want to feel that way.
