Aquamarine Aquamarine is the traditional birthstone for March. It is also
the accepted anniversary gem for the 19th year of marriage.
The ideal color of aquamarine is a refreshing pastel sea blue. Stones with a
clear blue color without green or gray are generally the most valuable.
If you are looking for a big, durable gemstone, aqua is readily available in
larger sizes and is truly dramatic when cut in rectangular or oval shapes.
It is a member of the important beryl family, which also includes emerald.
In ancient times, the stone was said to aid seafarers; thus it is an
excellent gift suggestion for sailors or one who takes frequent cruises! To
dream of aquamarine signifies the making of new friends; to wear aquamarine
earrings brings love and affection. It is a universal symbol of youth, hope
and health.
