About Aquamarine

Aquamarine is the blue to blue-green gem variety of beryl, a hexagonal beryllium aluminum silicate. Its color is generally associated with iron within the crystal structure, while its hardness of 7.5–8 and typically vitreous luster help make well-formed crystals especially appealing to mineral and gem collectors.

Traditional & Metaphysical Associations

In crystal traditions, aquamarine is associated with calm communication, clarity, courage, and imagery connected with the sea. Collectors may use it for meditation, intention-setting, or as a tranquil blue display piece.
