Collection: Aquamarine

Sculpted by Mother Nature, Aquamarine stands as a testament to the tranquil strength of the sea, reflected in its name which translates from Latin as 'water of the sea'. This mesmerizing mineral is a blue to blue-green variety of Beryl, the same mineral family as emerald and morganite.

Aquamarine's captivating colors range from pale to deep blue, reminiscent of the sea's varying shades. Primarily sourced from Brazil, it also hails from countries like Nigeria, Madagascar, Zambia, and Ukraine. It's often discovered in large, six-sided crystals which can be impeccably clear, making them perfect for large, cut gemstones.

Historically, sailors carried Aquamarine as a talisman for safe voyage and fearlessness against oceanic storms. Today, these past connotations have transmuted into metaphysical associations. Aquamarine is known as the 'Stone of Courage and Protection', and it is believed to calm energies, reduce stress, and quiet the mind, enhancing communication and clarity.

Connected with the throat chakra, it's suggested to encourage truthful expression and clear communication, making it an excellent stone for teachers, presenters, and writers. Furthermore, it's said to heighten one's awareness of truth on all levels of being, encouraging clear discernment and understanding.

Additionally, its serene, cool blue color promotes a calming effect that makes it a popular choice for jewelry and meditation practices.

Whether you're drawn to its peaceful, soothing energy, beautiful colors, or its reputation as a stone of courage and clear communication, Aquamarine can make an eye-catching and meaningful addition to any collection.
