The name aquamarine is derived from the Latin aqua marina "sea water" and thus refers to the pale blue to blue-green or "sea-green" color of the mineral. Aquamarines are found in pegmatites, particularly in granites, but also in metamorphic rocks such as gneiss and as mineral placers in river sediments. The aquamarine symbolizes peace, brings spiritual growth and helps with depression. It also strengthens self-confidence, not only gives vision and prudence but also endurance and stamina. It gives resilience and lets you finish what you start. Since aquamarine also strengthens intuition and brings serenity, new possibilities can be recognized and purposefully introduced in this way. In partnerships, aquamarine can strengthen love and loyalty.
