The staff from my new age shop, Mimosa Books & Gifts, had this to share:
Aquamarine, like emerald, is a form of beryl (Be3Al2(Si O3)6). As you might guess from its name, aquamarine has always had a connection with the sea. In ancient times, sailors wore it for protection. The Romans also felt it promoted friendship; a piece of aquamarine with a frog carved into it was a token of friendship. In fact, this was such a powerful talisman that giving an aquamarine frog to an enemy was supposed to turn that person into a friend.
Aquamarine was also supposed to rejuvenate marriages, making old love new again. On a less lofty note, it also relieved belching and yawning (though come to think of it, that alone might save more than a few marriages.) Its protective side extends beyond sailing. It was used to defend warriors in battle, and help innocent people stand up against malicious litigation. At its heart, aquamarine will always be a sea-loving stone, and there are even stories of using it to attract mermaids.
Safety note: Since aquamarine contains aluminum, please don’t use it for making elixirs.

Thanks so much David 🙂 crystal blessings
I noticed your safety warning about aluminum in aquamarine. Would you mind defining elixer? Does this rule out drinking water infused by aquamarine? There are articles about benefits of drinking aquamarine water… I just want to be safe about it. Thank you in advance.
Thanks for asking! Yes – it is unsafe to drink water infused by aquamarine. Definitely a no. People could be referring to different methods of elixirs – like putting the crystal in a sealed container and then in the water – like water bottles with a glass bubble where the crystals go to keep them out of the water but near it. <3 Hope this helps you out! Crystal Blessings 🙂
