Aquamarine, March Birthstone

Loose Aquamarine Gemstones available for purchase by collectors or for special orders.

Aquamarine, famous for its sea blue colors, comes from the mineral Beryl, the same family as Emerald. The name “aquamarine” is derived from two Latin words; aqua, meaning “water”, and marine, meaning “of the sea.” Major sources of aquamarine include Brazil, Madagascar, Russia, Pakistan, and the US.

Aquamarine is the birthstone for March. Aquamarine stones are beautiful crystals that heighten courage when you are handling grief, aid clear communication, and are a powerful assistance to self-healing. It has been said that the mineral beryl gives the wearer protection against foes in battle or litigation. It makes the wearer unconquerable and amiable, and also quickens the intellect.
