aquamarines

Pale ocean-hued stones

Aquamarines is the plural of aquamarine, a pale blue-green gemstone that takes its name from its seawater color.

The word also describes the color itself: Her eyes were the palest aquamarines.

Aquamarine is a variety of beryl, related to emerald but valued for its cool, watery hue rather than deep green.
