It crystallizes in the hexagonal system, has a hardness of 7.5 to 8 on the Mohs scale and a density of about 2.7. Its color is due to traces of iron: ferrous iron gives blue, ferric iron a greenish tint. In beads, the AA grade denotes a quality above standard grades: a deeper and more even color, better translucency. Its name comes from the Latin \u003cem\u003eaqua marina\u003c\/em\u003e, “sea water.” The main deposits are found in Brazil (Minas Gerais), Madagascar, Mozambique, Nigeria and Pakistan.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eGood to know :\u003c\/strong\u003e aquamarine is often heated at low temperature to reduce its green reflections and reveal a purer blue; this common, stable treatment cannot be ruled out here. It can be cleaned with warm soapy water and a soft cloth.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eIn lithotherapy :\u003c\/strong\u003e aquamarine is associated with the throat chakra.
