Aquamarine

Characterised by its clear, light blue-green colour, Aquamarine, like Emerald, is a member of the beryl family. Long considered a lucky stone for sailors, and still associated with water and safe travel, Aquamarine is the modern birthstone for March.

Associated with fidelity, truth and happiness, Aquamarine is said to promote feelings of peace and tranquillity, and is considered a powerful meditation stone. Greek soldiers believed this stone would grant them courage. Ancient folklore also claimed that this stone would protect its wearer against malicious gossip.
