Do you know what Colorado's gemstone is?

I love gemstones. I've attended many gem shows, in many cities. I love the one in Delta Colorado. I was happy to find out Colorado's gemstone is aquamarine. Which happens to be my favorite.

My wedding ring was set in yellow gold back many years ago. I upgraded last year in 2022 to white gold and I had an aquamarine put in the center instead of a diamond. I absolutely love it. I found out aquamarine is mined in high altitudes of Mt. Antero Colorado. There are actually many more gemstones found in Colorado. The gorgeous landscape is a great place to dif for gemstones.
