Aquamarine derives its name from "sea water". Aqua (water) sparkles like the sea and its color is pale to deep blue, often tinged with a hint of sea-green-hence the name. The highest quality is transparent. According to some legends, it is the treasure of mermaids, with the power to keep sailors safe at sea. Aquamarine is said to be a particularly strong charm when immersed in water (which is a good thing, since that is when sailors need its power most!)
