Aquamarine, named for the Latin phrase “water of the sea”, is a blue to blue-green variety of the mineral beryl. Beryl also contains other gem varieties, including emerald and some lesser known varieties (such as morganite and heliodor). Light green beryl can be transformed into aquamarine if heated to 750º F (400º C). The green hues in regular aquamarine can also be removed through heating. Most aquamarine gems on the market today are heat-treated.
Aquamarine is a not an uncommon gem, and is thus affordable.
