Aquamarine, the birthstone for March, is a stunning blue gemstone that has captivated people for centuries. Its name derives from the Latin words "aqua," meaning water, and "marina," meaning sea, reflecting its tranquil hues reminiscent of ocean waters. Historically, aquamarine was to be the treasure of mermaids, providing sailors with protection and good fortune during their voyages.
Ancient civilizations, including the Romans and Egyptians, valued this gemstone for its beauty and purported healing properties. Symbolically, aquamarine is associated with calmness, clarity, and serenity. It is thought to promote peace and reduce stress, making it a favoured stone for those seeking tranquillity in their lives. In addition to its soothing qualities, aquamarine is said to enhance communication, helping express their thoughts and emotions more clearly. This beautiful gemstone not only serves as a stunning accessory but also carries a rich history and meaningful significance for those born in March.
