Therapeutic and magical properties of aquamarine

Aquamarine, which in Latin means literally the phrase "sea water" - a stone of amazing beauty. Aquamarine externally is very similar to topaz or to one of the varieties of sapphire, although in reality they have nothing in common with each other. The color of this stone can be both greenish and bluish, but its main feature is that the stone seems to be two-color - it is necessary to turn the head from a different angle, and the color is already changing.

The main drawback of this gemstone is its particular fading in sunlight. These properties of aquamarine are explained by scientists irradiating mineral crystals. For example, the stones mined in Brazil, in a mine called Maxix, were originally a deep blue noble shade, and after a short contact with the sun's rays they acquired a yellowish and rusty-red color. However, despite this, aquamarine is very highly valued in the jewelry business.
