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.

 Aquamarine ranges in color from a faint light blue to blue and bluish-green, with lighter colored stones more common. 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.
