The light blue gemstone's name, Blue Aquamarine, comes from the Latin phrase aqua marinus, meaning "water of the sea," and refers to its sparkling ocean-like color. So let's set sail to a journey unknown, guided by the waves, and the stars and the moon (as hand-engraved on the necklace's silver guru bead). With blue beads marked with white, think sea foam, and dark veins, think black sand, this 108 bead mala necklace is sure to be a favorite for lovers of surf, sea and sand.
