Revealing the Mystique of Aquamarine
Aquamarine, with its ethereal blue hues tinged with hints of green, evokes visions of sun-kissed waves crashing against sandy shores. This March birthstone, a variety of beryl, has fascinated civilizations for centuries, earning a place of honor in both myth and legend.
Properties and Characteristics of Aquamarine
Aquamarine is renowned for its remarkable properties, including its hardness ranking between 7.5 and 8 on the Mohs scale, making it durable and suitable for everyday wear. Its stunning blue color, reminiscent of the ocean depths, is caused by the presence of iron in its crystal structure. This gemstone's clarity ranges from transparent to opaque, with eye-clean specimens being highly prized. Additionally, aquamarine is pleochroic, meaning it displays different colors when viewed from different angles, adding to its allure. (American Gem Society)
