Aquamarine (from the Latin “water of the sea”) is best known for its breathtaking range of blue and turquoise colours and belongs to the same family as emerald (beryl).  Trace amounts of iron give aquamarine a blue colour of differing strength. The colour is usually more even than that of emerald as, unlike its famous green cousin, aquamarine is almost entirely free of inclusions. (oops....not your birthstone, though cool!)
