Aquamarine

AQUAMARINE is one of the world's most popular and well known gemstones. Often found with greater clarity in a light yet energetic blue. Aquamarine receives its color from the presence of two types of iron, ferrous and ferric. Ferrous iron provides the gem with its trademark blue color, whilst the presence of ferric iron turns the gem slightly green. ‘Santa Maria’ Aquamarine describes those with a deeper shade of blue than normal. Now a days Mint Green Aquamarine which has a tint of green is increasing becoming popular.
