March - Aquamarine crushed (genuine)

Color: Blue or Cyan

Meaning: Serenity

Aquamarine represents sympathy, trust, harmony and friendship

Aquamarine comes in a great variety of blues. From translucent blue to a sea blue/green. This makes it a perfect accent for spring fashion. Aquamarine comes from the beryl family- the same family as the emerald. The blue color comes from iron deposits where the stone is formed. The most common mines are in Brazil, Sri Lanka, and South-East Asia. Usually the larger stones have more intense colors. The darker colors are harder to find naturally, but the value of the deeper colors has led to heat treatment of the stones to darken the color. The name comes from the Latin word “aqua,” which means water, and “marina,” which means the sea. Sailors believed in its protection and brought them on voyages.

It is also a present for the 19^th wedding anniversary.
