The history of the precious stone aquamarine dates back to ancient times, where it was used in jewelry and decoration.

The name "aquamarine" comes from the Latin "aqua marina" which means "sea waterr" due to its blue-green color similar to sea water.

Aquamarine is found in various parts of the world, but the largest and most well-known mines are in Brazil, Russia, Zambia and Pakistan.

In the Middle Ages, aquamarine was believed to have healing and protective properties, and was used as a talisman against evil eye.
