Aquamarine

Aquamarines can be found in igneous rocks where past volcanic activity was present millions of years ago. Aquamarine’s name comes from the Latin word for seawater, and it was said to calm waves and keep sailors safe at sea. Aquamarine is a beryl--a relatively rare silicate mineral found in igneous and metamorphic rocks around the world--and a blue-green sister to the deep green emerald. Aquamarine was thought to protect those at sea. It was believed to make sailors fearless and safe from adversaries on the open waters.
