Aquamarine Gemstone
Natural Aquamarine is the charming Blue March Birthstone Gemstone. It has a very long history going back to ancient times. This gemstone obtained its name from the Latin word"aqua' which translates as (water) and "marina"(Sea). This lovely gemstone was believed to protect sailors during their time at sea. They believed the stone protected them and kept the sea calm in situations of storms.
Aquamarine is mainly sourced from Brazil, the South American country. The finest quality comes from this region, as do mines in Nigeria, Madagascar, and Pakistan. These gemstones are typically heated to enhance their stunning blue hue, which ranges from light pastel to deep, vivid blues(Santa Maria). These colors all resemble the beautiful sea waters that surround humanity.
Natural Aquamarine is valued for its fine clarity and exquisite color grades. The most sought-after color is the fine Santa Maria color. This color grade displays a striking deep blue color and is free of inclusions. These gemstones also come in various shapes. Aquamarines also make the finest high-end jewels. The March birthstone is associated with the zodiac signs Pisces and Aries. It is believed the stone symbolizes tranquility and courage. It is also believed that Aquamarines soothe the soul and promote a sense of calm.
This stone is the traditional gift for the 19th wedding anniversaries. It is said to be perfect for long-lasting love and harmony. Whether set in rings, earrings, necklaces, or other jewelry designs, it is a meaningful gift for March-borns.
