Aquamarine is the birthstone for March. The word aquamarine is derived from the Latin words aqua translating to water and marine translating to of the sea. The ancient Greeks believed that aquamarine's presence on the ship would appease Poseidon who in turn would provide a safe voyage for seafarers; coining the term the sailor's gem. Roman fisherman also believed in the protective effects of aquamarine and used the gemstone for safe travel by boat and luck in catching fish. Aquamarine was also associated with the heavens in folklore as the sky is reflected in the water. Aquamarine is said to be calming and symbolizes tranquility, purity, reflection, and perseverance.
Aquamarines are a member of the beryl family along with emeralds and morganites. Due to the natural origin of these stones colors may vary. Please remember photos typically do not do gems justice.
