What would be the visual differences between mint garnet & green aquamarine? (I know the garnet would be a lot more brilliant.) Do you think I could find a green aqua in the color of a mint garnet, though?
In Nigeria, they mind a stone they call an Emerald. It''s really a light green beryl. Aquamarine is a blue beryl, Morganite a pink beryl, and emerald a green beryl.
These Nigerian emeralds are a light minty color, and to me are not really emerald, but rather a green beryl, or green aquamarine. The color is very pretty, and minty green. I may have some small pieces of rough left over, if I get a chance I''ll photograph them and post them here.
