Aquamarine (Final Fantasy IX)

The Aquamarine is a jewel in Final Fantasy IX that everyone can equip as an add-on, which can also be used during battle as a healing item. It teaches Leviathan to Dagger and HP+10% to physical fighters. Amassing Aquamarines in the inventory makes Leviathan's summon attack stronger.
==Obtain==
One Aquamarine is obtained as part of the story during the First Battle of the Iifa Tree . Ten of them are also found in the hidden dive spot where the Shimmering Island used to be in the endgame.
Aquamarines are also converted with the shrine in the entrance of Daguerreo from four Ores. The player can get endless Ores with Eiko's Jewel, but Ore is also a common battle spoil from monsters.
==Mechanics==
The amount of Aquamarines in the player's inventory affects Leviathan's summon attack power. Tsunami's attack power = 59 + No. of Aquamarines.
The Aquamarine can also be used as an item during battle, to restore HP equivalent to the total stock of Aquamarines x20. Jewels are the only healing items that work on Zombiefied/undead targets. It can be a powerful healing item, but is unaffected by Chemist and cannot be used while in the field.
==Use==
The Aquamarine is mainly useful for teaching Dagger Leviathan and then empowering its Tsunami. Leviathan can become one of Dagger's best eidolons, as there is a good way to farm Aquamarines at Daguerreo. HP+10% is also a good ability for physical attackers, but they can also learn it from other equipment that also grant stats.
As jewels do not grant stats, the player should unequip them after mastering the abilities they hold.
==Etymology and origin==
 The jewels are based on real life birthstones. As such, when equipping as an add-on and if the player has all twelve jewels in their inventory (minus Ore), the jewels are listed in the same order as the birthstones where each gemstone represents a month.
