Aquamarine is a blue-green variant of beryl and is used as a gemstone in jewellery making. Its name means “sea water” because of its characteristic blue-blue color. It is also known as the sea stone and in the Middle Ages it was thought to reduce the effects of poisoning. The best quality aquamarine is mined in Brazil, and there are other important mining sites around the world. It is also considered the lucky stone of sailors and is associated with breathing and communication.
