Aquamarine is a stunning blue to blue-green gemstone that can be found in Brazil, Siberia, Myanmar, and several regions across Africa. A member of the Beryl family, alongside emerald and morganite, Aquamarine derives its name from the Latin word aqua marina, meaning seawater, a fitting tribute to its serene ocean-like hue.
 
Historically, Aquamarine has been deeply connected to the sea. Ancient sailors, especially fishermen, believed the stone was a talisman of protection and safe passage across turbulent waters. They often carried or wore Aquamarine to calm the waves and ensure a safe return home. During the Middle Ages, the stone took on new meanings; it was thought to offer protection against poisoning and was also used in healing rituals and mystical practices.
 
Beyond its protective qualities, Aquamarine was highly valued for its beauty and clarity, making it a popular choice for jewelry, especially rings, where it was believed to bring harmony to relationships and soothe tempers. It continues to be a favorite in fine jewelry due to its durability and gentle, calming color.
 
As the birthstone for March, Aquamarine is often associated with tranquility, clarity, and communication. It's believed to enhance awareness, intuition, and higher states of consciousness, making it a popular choice for meditation and energy work. Its calming energy is said to bring peace to the mind and encourage heartfelt expression.
