You can take the name a couple of different ways. If the mythical lands that lie under the waves---Atlantis or the lost continent of Mu---- were to rise up as prophesied, would they uncover strange artifacts not seen on the earth before? A sea green gem like stone with strange reflective properties, bound up by silk ribbons within a transparent stone? What would be the magical properties of such a brooch, if it existed? The color is that very soft green, the color of a shallow wave under a cloudy sky, all bound up with complex metallic pieces; clips and wire, and with bits of satin ribbon, all set in stone. It's a matriarchal gemstone: complicated, technical, but feminine.
Or if that metaphor doesn't please you, just imagine the Atlantic sparkling intermittently under an overcast sky. The sun goes in and out. You can see it trying to shine through.
