Aquamarine is a pretty blue crystal with the association to vast and endless bodies of water. One deep stare into one of these gems and you’re instantly transported to an island surrounded by an infinity of the deep blue.

The ocean represents the fluidity of our brains and how our thoughts and dreams tend to flow like the water and are at the same time vast and infinite in the content which they can potentially produce.

The literal meaning of the word Aquamarine means sea-water. Derived from Latin, this crystal is literally named after its properties.

Through ancient times, Aquamarine has been a representative of health and positivity on long voyages for sailors. In the old times, voyages were dangerous, risky affairs in which any stroke of good luck was a welcome one.

Since 1912, Aquamarine has been known as the birthstone of March. So if you’re someone who was born in March, Aquamarine is the stone that is best suited for you according to the alignment of the stars.

It is known to have many mystical properties like increasing courage, happiness, intelligence, and youthfulness. For your interpersonal relationships, it also has a very high significance. It helps to maintain relationships, friendships and induces faithfulness where loyalty is in short order.

Aquamarine is preferred by many to be ornate on jewelry. It is amongst the top choice of stone selection for engagement rings after diamonds. Not all crystals are fit to be gemstones because of where they lay on the Mohs scale of hardness. Fortunately for fans of the color blue and gemstone rings, Aquamarine is very compatible with jewelry making.

Aquamarine is not available in the purest rawest form. It is heat-treated like most tumbled stones in the market are. It has green undertones in its natural form which one can get rid of through heat treatment.
