Aquamarine refers to beryl that is pale blue, light blue-green, or even light green in colour. 

Aquamarine evokes the purity of crystalline waters, and the exhilaration and relaxation of the sea. Aquamarines were thought to be treasures of the mermaids, and was used by sailors as a talisman of good luck.  They were also thought to absorb the atmosphere of young love, and when blessed and worn it joins in love, and does great things. In Medieval times, the stone was thought to reawaken the love of married couples.  Aquamarine was thought to be a "all purpose" healing stone.  The history of the aquamarine is intriguing, however one thing I believe we can all agree upon is that the beauty of this precious gem never fades. 

Gold was generally used for a couple thousand years solely to create things such as jewelry and idols for worship. This was until around 1500 BC when the ancient empire of Egypt, which benefited greatly from its gold-bearing region, Nubia, made gold the first official medium of exchange for international trade.
