About Aquamarine

Aquamarine is the pale blue to blue-green variety of beryl, a hexagonal beryllium aluminum silicate. Its color is generally associated with iron in the crystal structure, and its Mohs hardness of 7.5–8 contributes to both its gemological importance and its popularity as a collectible crystal species.

Traditional & Metaphysical Associations

Some collectors use it during meditation or intention-setting, while others simply appreciate its quiet color as a contemplative display piece.
