Beryl is the name of an entire family of wonderful gemstones. The most famous of these is aquamarine. Aquamarine (Latin for "water of the sea") got its name from its color, which ranges from delicate light blue to aquamarine blue and dark green-blue. The element that gives this blue member of the beryl group its color is iron.

The pink variety of beryl is called morganite. Morganite, the pink variety of beryl, was already considered a magical and healing stone in ancient times.
