Aquamarine

Aquamarine comes from the Latin word "Aqua" for "water" and "Marina" for "of the sea" which is why it was named after the sea because of its bluey green colour. The colour of Aquamarine comes from the presence of two types of iron, ferrous and ferric. The ferrous iron gives the gem its blue colour while the presence of the ferric iron gives it the slight hue of green. When in its rough state aquamarine is more green than blue. To remove the green the stone is heat treated then sent to be cut. 

Aquamarine is the birthstone for March, and is the official gemstone for the 19th wedding anniversary.
