Aquamarine

The ability of aquamarine to soothe and calm a marriage makes it a wonderful anniversary gift as well as a birhtstone for the month of March.

Aquamarine is said to have a soothing influence on married couples. Its power to help husbands and wives work out their differences and ensure a long and happy marriage makes it a good anniversary gift.

Aquamarine also protects against the wiles of the devil. A dream of aquamarine means that you will meet new friends.

Aquamarine, the "gem of the sea", derives its name from "sea water". The reference is obvious: aqua sparkles like the sea and its color is pale to medium blue, sometimes with a slight hint of green. Aquamarine is the birthstone for March. Aquamarine is found in Brazil, Zambia, Mozambique, Angola, Nigeria, and other countries.

Aquamarine is always in a pastel blue but the darker the color, the more valued it is. Connoisseurs also prefer a pure blue, with no green in it. If you prefer a greenish tinge, you will find that these stones are less expensive.

This is a durable and lively gemstone that is appropriate for all jewelry uses. Its pale fire is flattering to most skin tones.
