Gemstone Information - Aquamarine

The aquamarine is the stone of the sea-goddesses of past times. Beads of aquamarine were found in ancient Egyptian mummy pits. It is the birthstone of March.

The aquamarine, a sepirecious variety of beryl, is a pale bule-green color and so has long been associated with the ea and with the element of Water. Sea Witches clease the stone in ocean water at night by the light of the Full Moon. to do the same far from the coast, fill a blue vessel with water, addsea salt and let the stone sit in this mixture overnight.

Aquamarine is used much like the amethyst in soothing and calming emotional problems. It is a stone of peace, joy and happiness, especially in relationships. Aquamarines exchanged by mates help smooth the path of their interactions, and it is a most magically appropriate gift for a bridegroom to give his bride on the day of their nuptials.

Aquamarine has also been worn to relieve the pain of toothache and to cure illness of the stomach, throat and jaw.

As a charm the aquamarine is worn to ensure good health, to halt fear so as to strengthen the courage hiding behid it and for alertness of the mind.
