Aquamarine

Aquamarine is a pale blue form of the mineral beryl.  Aquamarine crystals can occur in such rocks as granites and pegmatites. 
 
These beautiful gemstones have a glassy luster (shine) and are either translucent or transparent.  These properties make aquamarine a prized stone for all types of jewelry.
