The story: Belonging to the beryl family like emeralds, aquamarines get their name from the Latin “aqua marina,” meaning “seawater.” It is therefore quite natural that they have earned a reputation for calming the waves and providing safety to sailors going out to sea. The stone of the natives of the month of March, it is also called the stone of lovers because it is said to facilitate communication in difficult times.
