Collection: aquamarine

Aquamarine, also known as beryl or chrysolite, gets its name from the Latin "Aqua marina," meaning "sea water." This gemstone, formerly called beryl or zeberdjed in Egypt, is a transparent variety of light blue beryl. Its current name, "aquamarine," was adopted in the 16th century. First discovered in Brazil, where the largest deposits are still found, aquamarine is also mined in the Himalayas, Africa, Russia, Madagascar, and in the mines of Pakistan.

Thanks to its hardness, aquamarine was particularly suited for intaglio engraving, a technique practiced in antiquity in Egypt, Greece, and Italy. Many works of art depicting heroes, Olympian gods, or historical figures were made from this gemstone.
