Aquamarine
Aquamarine, like Morganite and Emerald, is derived from the mineral beryl. The ancient Romans believed that aquamarine would protect against any dangers while travelling at sea.
Caring for Aquamarine
It has a hardness of 7.5-8 on the Mohs Scale, Gems with a hardness of 6-7 or greater are quite suitable for rings which are worn occasionally. For a ring like a wedding or engagement ring, intended for everyday wear over a period of years, a hardness rating of 8-10 is recommended. Warm, soapy water is the best method for cleaning aquamarine. The use of ultrasonic and steam cleaners is not generally recommended, just in case the stone has liquid inclusions or fractures, invisible to the eye.
