Help me clear up an argument!

Aquamarine is transparent!

I'd say it's like a greenish blue, or maybe a bluish green.

Hah...but I agree.

Turquoise is turquoise colored.

Aquamarine is transparent!

I mean the color, not the gem. Aren't they the same? Don't they both mean bluish-green?

I think you and your dad should call a tie - you're both right!

Oh look at the color chart here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aquamarine_(color)

Looks like aquamarine is more green and turquoise is more blue.

Oh my head hurts

Torquise from Asia tends to be green. From USA it's blue

anyone who spends time trying to figure out what color something is needs more yard work. or a nearby lake to go fishing in.

Can be either but generally the stone is more green but the color people mean when they talk about "a turquoise shirt" or whatever is more blue. Here's a photo showing both:
