Healing Properties of the March Birthstone
Aquamarine is a beryl gemstone which beautifully ranges in pale blue, blue-green, and teal. Legend states it originated in the treasure chest of mermaids. Sailor's made it their "lucky stone," and even Romans and Greeks believed it kept them safe. No wonder the name derives from Latin words meaning water and sea! Adopting aquamarine as the March birthstone took place in 1912 and it is also the planetary stone for the month's opening zodiac sign, Pisces.
Although there are many places the stone comes from like Columbia, Zambia, and Madagascar, the most valuable aquamarine is found in Brazil. But even though this unique stone makes an extraordinary jewel in bracelets and necklaces, being a stone promoting peace and clarity, its healing powers are much more intriguing. By wearing it, holding it, or keeping it near you can access its abilities. Here are four healing properties of the March birthstone you didn't know until now!
