Folklore
In ancient and medival times,
Aquamarine, like other blue stones,
was believed to exercise a general
tonic influence. It was supposed to
counteract the wiles of the spirits and
darkness and procure the aid and
favor of the spirits of light and
wisdom. It was also sometimes
looked upon as an emblem of chastity.
Some old legends tell how it could change color to reveal true or false and friend or foe. This blue-green stone has been carried by many a sailor to guard against storms and danger at sea. Because of its soothing influence, at one point, eyeglasses were once made from
Aquamarines.
Crystal System
Aquamarine is a member of the beryl family. It has a hexagonal crystal system and is in the mineral class of ring silicate. It is formed in pegmatites (grained or layered structures) where the magmatic
solution has been enriched with berylium.
Aquamarine gets its blue-green to blue color from traces of iron. It's name comes from the Latin/Italian of aqua marina - seawater. It can be found in the U.S., Mexico, Russia, Brazil and India.
Occassionally, parts of a long crystal are found to be a pale yellow color. This would have been caused from exposure to superheating from a nearby magma source (the same occurance that can morph Amethyst into Citrine).
