Aquamarine is most always associated with water. Its cooling energy can calm anger and helps create a relaxed but alert state of mind. It can also help you stay connected to your inner wisdom in the midst of conflict and offers you the ability to speak your truth clearly in a way that contributes to peace and harmony. If you tend to get into arguments, wearing aquamarine can help you stay centered.

Aquamarine is a stone of the Divine Feminine. It teaches a form of power that is yielding and yet resilient. It’s amazing to think of the power that water has to wear away rock and crack it open when the water turns to ice. It is often gentle and powerful but at times, water can even be destructive making way for new beginnings. This power to wash away attachments is why aquamarine makes a great stone to help in letting go.

Aquamarine is a brilliant, blue colored gemstone. The color of aquamarine can range from pale blue to dark blue, and can sometimes even be a bluish green. It is sometimes mistaken for the less expensive blue topaz. Aquamarine sits at a 7.5 – 8 on the Mohs scale which is somewhere between quartz and topaz.  It is a member of the beryl family, along with emerald, morganite, and bixbite (red emerald). Aquamarine’s name comes from Latin, meaning water and sea.

The best quality aquamarine sources are in Brazil although it can also found in Russia, Nigeria, Zambia, Madagascar, Mozambique, Afghanistan, Pakistan, and parts of the United States.

Aquamarine is a favorite stone of many:

• Aquamarine is the birthstone for March. (Before the fifteenth century, it was the birthstone for October.)
• It is the official state gem of Colorado.
• It is the gemstone for the 19th year of marriage.
• It is the birthstone for the astrological sign Pisces.

One of the top benefits of Aquamarine is that it helps you speak with clarity and compassion.  The second benefit is that it lets you release stuck emotions and old attachments while bringing the energy in of the Divine Feminine.

In the past, sailors would wear aquamarine to ward off seasickness and encourage safe travel. Some saw it as a stone of eternal youth. Because aquamarine is a hard stone, it is safe for all forms of jewelry, such as rings, pendants and earrings. It is also hard enough to be faceted for fine jewelry, making it suitable for engagement rings.  Be sure to keep your aquamarine clean to keep it stunning. The color pales when dirt collects around the stone. Keep this in mind when buying lighter or pale colored stones.

Be careful not to mistake blue topaz gemstones for aquamarine. Topaz is beautiful as well, but is much less expensive than Aquamarine. Another imitation of aquamarine is a form of spinel called aquamarine spinel.  Aquamarine gems are often heat treated to enhance the color. When purchasing one of these stones, be sure to ask if it is natural or treated.
