The name Aquamarine comes from the Latin phrase "aqua marinus" meaning "water of the sea," and received its name through the stone's beautiful sparkling color that resembles the ocean waters.
Aquamarine is the blue, blue-green or aqua variety of the mineral Beryl. Other colored Beryl gemstones include Emerald (green), Morganite (pink), and Heliodor (greenish-yellow), Goshenite (clear), but other types of Beryl are simply referred to by their color, such as Red Beryl. Aquamarine is colored by the trace amounts of iron that find their way into the crystal structure. Most gem Aquamarines have been heat treated to produce the popular blue-green colors from the less desirable yellow or pale stones.
One of the finest of the gemstones, Aquamarine possesses an awesome brilliance and crystal clear transparency, and is usually free from inclusions or flaws. even more so than its cousin the Emerald. The majority of crystals occur in pegmatite veins deep inside the metamorphic rocks where it crystallizes prismatically, sometimes vertically striated and, occasionally, terminated with small pyramidal faces.
The leading producer of Aquamarines is Brazil, with many other notable occurrences worldwide. The biggest Aquamarine ever mined was found at the city of Marambaia, Minas Gerais. It weighed over 110 kg, and its dimensions were 48.5 cm long and 42 cm in diameter.

Myths and Lore:
According to legend, Aquamarine is the treasure of mermaids, and holds the power to keep sailors safe when at sea. The stone is said to be a particularly strong charm when immersed in water. For these reasons, Aquamarine was dedicated to a number of sea goddesses, including the Greek love goddess, Aphrodite, whose name means "born of the foam".

An especially beautiful "Stone Story" in the book "Stones Alive!" from Aquamarine:
Be that so fully that all that is left to think about is breathing.
Breathe consciously so that you inhale peace so that you exhale calm.
Now you live your destiny.
While all your experiences are wisdom's tools, you never needed to live in fear.
You never were designed to die frightened and alone.
You beacon love across your countenance and across the waves of the universe.
Yes. This is your freedom just to be:
You are created in and from complete love, from thought to flesh to spirit - whole, perfect.
Take up the life of love. Choose it every moment.
You are choosing yourself, from the mirror of eternity."

My own thoughts and experiences :
Like a droplet of ocean in your hand -- for anyone who relates well to the element of Water, and especially for those who don't. Aquamarine is the stone for you! Carry or wear it as a pendant to clear and wash away the clutter in your mind; to improve your communication; to uplift and bring playfulness into your life. Imagine the essence of Aquamarine surrounding you when you feel the need for a breath of fresh air or a cleansing spray of refreshing thought-provoking sea-water to wash over you. It can help clear any breathing problems (my very skeptical sister just tried it for 4 nights in a row and it worked all 4 times), while inducing a mental clarity so often needed today in this world of pollutants and stress.
Reminiscent of the lucid aqua color of gently lapping ocean waves that kiss the white sands of some tropical island, Aquamarine invokes that same calm and peaceful feeling. Like a wave, it rushes inward to cleanse the mind. and then outward with a clear and rapid burst of fresh, positive thought. The stone, in gem quality, is pristine and pure. and yet, in regular polished or raw state, it can be pristine and strangely moody at the same time as its more translucent and foamy aspects can be seen. It is not hard to imagine this stone as a gift from Aphrodite, who, born of the ocean's foam, arises from the depths of the waters to soothe and seduce you.

Reviews for "The magic twist hair sponge: a versatile tool for all hair types"
1. Jane - 1 star - I was really disappointed with the Magic Twist Hair Sponge. It claims to provide effortless curls, but it barely did anything for my hair. I followed the instructions carefully, but all it did was frizz up my hair and make it look messy. I can achieve better results with a regular curling iron. Definitely not worth the money.
2. Mike - 2 stars - I had high hopes for the Magic Twist Hair Sponge, but unfortunately, it didn't live up to its claims. While it did create some texture in my hair, it was not the defined curls I was expecting. The sponge also felt cheaply made and started to fall apart after just a few uses. Overall, I was left unimpressed and would not recommend this product.
3. Sarah - 1 star - The Magic Twist Hair Sponge was a complete waste of my money. It did absolutely nothing for my hair. I tried it on different hair types and lengths, and in every instance, it failed to create any noticeable curls or texture. The sponge also felt rough on my scalp and caused some discomfort. Save yourself the frustration and look for a better alternative.
4. Chris - 2 stars - I bought the Magic Twist Hair Sponge hoping to add some volume to my short hair. Unfortunately, it didn't deliver the results I wanted. The sponge was difficult to hold and maneuver, and it didn't create the desired effect. It just felt like I was rubbing my hair with a sponge, and I ended up with a messy, frizzy look. I wouldn't recommend this product if you're looking for precise styling.
5. Emily - 2 stars - I found the Magic Twist Hair Sponge to be quite underwhelming. While it did create some waves in my hair, they were not as defined and long-lasting as I expected. The sponge also felt uncomfortable to use for long periods, as it rubbed against my scalp. Overall, I think there are better options available for achieving the desired curly hairstyle.
