Blue Beryl Tumble

Blue beryl, also known as aquamarine, is a variety of the mineral beryl that gets its blue color from traces of iron in its crystal structure. It is primarily composed of beryllium aluminum silicate and is formed in pegmatite veins through the crystallization of magma or hydrothermal fluids.

Aquamarine is found in various regions around the world, including Brazil, Madagascar, Nigeria, Pakistan, and the United States. Some of the most prized and valuable aquamarine specimens come from mines in Brazil and Madagascar.

Appearance-wise, blue beryl typically exhibits a range of blue hues, from pale sky blue to deep ocean blue. Its color is often reminiscent of the sea, which is why it's named "aquamarine," derived from the Latin words for "water" and "sea." The intensity of the blue color can vary depending on factors such as the concentration of iron impurities and the presence of other trace elements.

In its natural form, aquamarine often occurs as transparent to translucent crystals with a hexagonal crystal structure. It can be found in various sizes, from small crystal formations to large gem-quality specimens suitable for cutting into faceted gemstones or cabochons. Aquamarine is highly prized for its clarity, transparency, and color consistency, making it a popular choice for jewelry, particularly in earrings, necklaces, and rings.
