Aquamarine
October 10, 2007
This is a clear light blue or blue-green stone, also called blue beryl. It has a hexagonal structure, recieving 8 on Moh’s scale. Many aquamarines are mined in Russia and Brazil, though some come from Sri Lanka or Africa. There is a source in Colorado, as well.
Aquamarine has long been associated with the sea, probably because of its watery color.
The clear blue beryl has a yellow counterpart called heliodor, a green called emerald, and a pink one called morganite.
For the moment, Full!

Due to the great demand for jewellery, I will not be taking any more orders until January 2008. For those of you who have put in your requests as of today, thank you, and bear with me as I hammer and file away until completion.
