The name "aquamarine" (aquamarin German, aqua marina Spanish) is derived from the Latin phrase "water of the sea," named for its greenish-blue seawater color. Aquamarine (or aqua beryl) develops in granite pegmatites and certain types of metamorphic rock. It occurs in conjunction with quartz, microcline, muscovite, and almandine in metamorphic pegmatite. Most aquamarine comes from the pegmatites of Minas Gerais Brazil, where crystals weighing several pounds have been found.
Aquamarine is transparent to translucent member of the beryl family of minerals (emerald, morganite), and is a cyclosilicate that is made up of beryllium (Be), aluminium silicate, sodium (Na), lithium (Li), and cesium (Cs). Beryl has become an important source for the element Berillium (Be), a metal with a variety of commercial and military uses, such as in the manufacturing light-weight metal alloys.
