Aquamarine
Pale sea blue to soft blue-green, often with a gentle, watery clarity. Some pieces are clear and glassy, while others are milkier with fine lines inside.
About aquamarine
Aquamarine is a blue variety of beryl, the same mineral family as emerald. Its colour comes from traces of iron. The name comes from the Latin aqua marina, meaning sea water, and it is the birthstone for March.
Aquamarine has long been linked with the sea and was traditionally carried by sailors as a protective charm. In crystal tradition it is said to bring calm, courage and clear, gentle communication.
How people use it
Aquamarine is a lovely pocket stone for calm, a meaningful March birthday gift, and a favourite for meditation near water or for keeping on a bedside table.
Care
Hard and durable, but it can chip if knocked. Clean with lukewarm water and a soft cloth, avoid sudden temperature changes, and store apart from other stones.
Crystal meanings describe tradition and belief, not medical advice.
