THE HISTORY BEHIND THE AQUAMARINE

The seawater color of the aquamarine is how this gemstone got its name, as it is derived from the
Latin
word for seawater. It is a valued gem of ancient lineage. In the 19th century, sea green varieties
of
the stone were the most popular, but today, the bluer the color the more valuable the stone. This
gemstone is mined in Brazil; however, it can also be found in Pakistan, Nigeria, Zambia, and
Madagascar.
In 1910, the largest aquamarine was found in Brazil, weighing 243 pounds! It grows in expansive
crystals
making it a magnificent gemstone for cutting and polishing bigger carats for bold statement pieces.

The beautiful tranquil sea color of this stone is believed to keep you calm and peaceful, as its
colors
cool down hot tempers. It is also known to protect sailors and mariners to ensure a safe voyage. In
medieval times, many believed that the act of wearing of carrying aquamarine was an antidote to
poisoning. The Romans also believed that if the figure or a frog were carved on an aquamarine, it
served
to reconcile enemies and make them friends. Another Roman legend stated that the stone could still
stir
love between two people. In Medieval ties, the stone was thought to reawaken the love of married
couples.
