    From RocksAndCo.com:
    Aquamarine is a member of the Beryl mineral family (from the ancient Greek 'beryllos', meaning blue-green stone), commonly known as the 'mother of gemstones' because of its highly regarded gem varieties. Apart from Aquamarine blues, other Beryl gemstones include Bixbite reds, Emerald greens, Goshenite whites (colourless), Heliodor yellows and Morganite pinks.
