March Birth Stone - Aquamarine (or alternatively Bloodstone) (courage)
Aquamarine is a beautiful light blue-green stone in it's top color form. A nice stone will be clear, without visible flaws. Aquamarine is derived from the Latin, "beryllus aquamarinus", meaning resembling seawater. It is traditionally a sailor's tailsman. Some commerically available aqua is treated with heat, to improve its color. Such treatments do not affect the stone's strength, or value. Aqua & Emerald are both in the beryl family of stones. Birth Flower(s): jonquil, violet (The Jonquil means: "I desire a return of affection", love me, affection returned, desire, and sympathy.) |
