The ancient Greeks used the refracting property of Beryl to make the first spectacles. At the time of Nero, White Beryl (or Goshenite) was found on the Island of Elba, and it was then cut to be used to make the first eyeglasses.

Although pink, Morganite is tied to the see, just like Aquamarine; Beryl is often worn on water as protection from the storms and the seas. The interesting part of this legend is that in ancient times it was also to bring down the rain during droughts.
