∙ 8y agoAquamarine is a very popular and affordable gemstone and it gets its blue tint from traces of iron in chemical composition. Unlike the emerald, this beryl-based stone is highly resistant to inclusions and easy to mine, which makes it common and much less expensive. If you want to buy an aquamarine, you must know how to spot a high quality stone. Stones rich in blue are typically more valuable than green hues, but most blue-green hues are more valuable than borderline-clear stones. Deep sky blue stones are the most valuable and, in general, the darker the shade the more sought-after.
