'''Aquamarine''' (Lat. ''aqua marina'', "water of the sea") is a [[gemstone]]-quality transparent variety of [[beryl]], having a delicate blue or blue-green color, suggestive of the tint of sea-water. It's closely related to the gem [[emerald]].<br />
<br />
It occurs at most localities which yield ordinary beryl, some of the finest coming from [[Russia]]. The gem-gravels of [[Sri Lanka]] contain aquamarine. Clear yellow beryl, such as occurs in [[Brazil]], is sometimes called aquamarine chrysolite. When [[corundum]] presents the bluish tint of typical aquamarine, it is often termed Oriental aquamarine. <br />
<br />
In the [[United States]], aquamarines can be found at the summit of [[Mount Antero|Mt. Antero]] in the [[Sawatch Range]] in central [[Colorado]]. In [[Brazil]], there are mines in the states of [[Minas Gerais]], [[Espírito Santo]] and [[Bahia]].<br />
<br />
The biggest aquamarine ever mined was found at the city of Marambaia, Minas Gerais. It weighed over 110 kg, and its dimensions were 48.5 cm long and 42 cm in diameter.<br />
<br />
==Culture and historical/mythical usage==<br />
Aquamarine is the [[birthstone]] associated with [[March]]. It is also the gemstone for the 19th Anniversary.<br />
