Aquamarine

Aquamarine is a variety of beryl with a blue to greenish-blue color. It is mineralogically related to emerald, and documented crystals can reach a large size. For a style consultation, it is useful to distinguish the name of the material from the specific tone of each specimen. The profile does not guarantee transparency, origin, or the absence of treatments in pieces offered by third parties.
