100% natural aquamarine beads!

Aquamarine is a blue to blue-green member of the beryl family. With a Mohs hardness of 8, it is one of the harder gemstones and is often found exposed in nature after the surrounding softer rocks have eroded away. The high hardness of aquamarine makes it suitable for long-lasting and durable jewelry.

The first documented discovery of aquamarine took place in 1723 in the Adun-Chalon mountains of Siberia. Today, however, the gemstone is mined mostly in Brazil.

Aquamarine gets its name from the Latin roots ‘aqua’ meaning water and ‘marine’ meaning sea - seawater.

Aquamarine is the birthstone of March.

Bracelets & Geology

I ordered several different beads. I was very pleased with what was received and how quickly they arrived. I mentor an older Girl Scout troop, and these bracelets are popular here. So the girls made bracelets, but we added in information about geology, and entrepreneurship.
