Aquamarine, elected for the Latin phrase “water of the sea”, is the blue to blue-green family Beryl. Beryl also contains other gem types, including Emerald, and some lesser-known varieties such as Morganite and Heliodor. Aquamarine differs in color from a faint light blue to blue and bluish-green, with lighter colored stones being the more standard type. Light green Beryl can be converted into Aquamarine if heated to 750ยบ F (400ยบ C). The green hues in most Aquamarine can also be removed by heat treatment.
