Aquamarine is a blue or blue-green variety of the mineral beryl, which also includes emerald and morganite. It gets its name from the Latin words "aqua" and "marina," meaning "water" and "of the sea," respectively, due to its color resembling the hues of the ocean. The color of aquamarine can range from pale blue to a more saturated blue-green, with some specimens exhibiting a slight greenish or bluish-gray tint. Aquamarine is often used in jewelry, particularly in earrings, necklaces, and rings, and is also believed to have various metaphysical properties, such as promoting calmness, communication, and clarity of thought. It is also the birthstone for the month of March.
