The gem referred to as Aquamarine is probably the most revered gemstones in the world. It makes a sense of being in tune with nature, and evokes the colors of the sea and the sky. The mysteriously deep aquamarine blues often motivate in folks a feeling of love. Many jewelry designers are enthralled by the gem’s qualities.

Aquamarine, based on traditional legend, is discovered among the list of artifacts of mermaids. It’s always been viewed as a sailor’s good luck charm. Its name comes from the two Latin terms “aqua” meaning water and “mare” meaning sea. It is said to bring favor to a happy marriage to the one wearing it. Aquamarine’s powers develop best when the stone is immersed in sun-drenched water.

Aquamarine is the birthstone for the month of March. The zodiac sign Pisces is also assigned to this gem and it is also the gem to give for the 18th anniversary. Aquamarine represents eternity and life-giving properties since it is the color of both the sea and the sky. It’s sparkling tone and blue hues evoke feelings of sympathy, harmony and trust.

It belongs to the beryl gemstone family, just like emerald. Aquamarines are usually clear though, unlike emeralds. It gets its color from iron and the amount found in the crystal determines the intensity of the color. The deeper the color, the higher the value of the stone is. The color ranges from an almost transparent blue to a deep sea blue.
