Aquamarine Split Bracelet from China

Aquamarine

Aquamarine is the blue-green variety of the mineral beril and is known for its bright, watery colour reminiscent of the sea. The name is derived from the Latin "aqua marina", meaning sea water. The colour results from traces of iron in the crystal structure and ranges from light blue to light green.

Aquamarine occurs worldwide, with important deposits in Brazil, Pakistan, Madagascar, Russia and Nigeria. Like other berils, it has the chemical formula Be₃Al₂Si₆O₁₈ and crystallises in the hexagonal system. Its hardness is 7.5 to 8 on the Mohs scale, making it well suited for use in jewellery.
