Aquamarines are the blue variety of beryl, a cyclic beryllium aluminum silicate that crystallizes in the hexagonal crystal structure. The color palette ranges from pale turquoise blue to navy blue (rare) to green, with a smooth transition to yellow heliodor. Due to its high hardness and the partially crystal-clear crystals, aquamarine is also very popular in the jewelry industry.
