Aquamarine is the light blue to blue-green variety of the mineral Beryl, with natural colors reminiscent of the shallow waters near Mediterranean beaches.
 
The finest Aquamarine crystals in the world come from the Gilgit-Baltistan region of the Himalayas in northern Pakistan. These crystals are mined at nearly 17,000 feet above sea level.
 
Recent, extraordinary finds have been located in Karoi, Zimbabwe.
 
Aquamarine often forms gorgeous, gem-quality hexagonal prisms that are highly prized.
