Aquamarine is a blue to blue-green variety of beryl valued for its clarity, subtle color, and durability. Dakota Stones offers aquamarine beads that are well-suited for both fine and everyday jewelry due to their appealing transparency and relatively high hardness.

Aquamarine is typically available in faceted or smooth rounds, chips, and other shapes, with color intensity and clarity influencing price and desirability.
