Aquamarine is the birthstone for March and is considered one of the most beautiful gemstones in the world. Its deep blue color is reminiscent of the clear water of tropical lagoons and has fascinated people all over the world for centuries. But where does aquamarine actually come from and what properties and meanings does it have?
Origin of Aquamarine
The aquamarine belongs to the beryl family and is therefore a relative of the emerald. It owes its deep blue color to the iron embedded in its crystal lattice. Most of the world's aquamarine deposits are in Brazil, but there are also significant finds in other countries such as Madagascar, Mozambique, Afghanistan and Pakistan.
Properties of Aquamarine
In addition to its stunning color, aquamarine also has many other properties that make it a coveted gemstone. It has a hardness of 7.5 to 8 on the Mohs scale and is therefore relatively insensitive to scratches and damage. In addition, it is usually transparent and has a high refraction, which gives it a beautiful sparkle.
Stories and meanings of aquamarine
Even in ancient times, aquamarine was valued as a valuable gemstone and was considered a symbol of love and friendship. In Greek and Roman mythology, it was seen as a gift from the sea god Poseidon or Neptune and was supposed to bring protection and blessings to its wearer.
Even today, aquamarine is often used as a gemstone and has different meanings. For example, it should ensure clarity and balance, drive away fears and worries and improve communication and expressiveness.
Positive effects of aquamarine on its wearer
In addition to its symbolic meaning, aquamarine is also said to have positive effects on body and mind. It is said to have a calming effect and help reduce stress and nervousness. It is also said to strengthen the immune system, activate the thyroid gland and relieve headaches.

Der Aquamarin von Simon und Ina war das erste Stück, welches ich erworben habe. Der Stein hat eine Präsenz die deutlich spürbar ist. Das Hintergrundwissen zum Stein und die Art Unbekanntes nahe zu bringen, ist zauberhaft und liebevoll beschrieben. Hier kann sich mancher Anbieter ein Beispiel nehmen. Schönes und Unvergleichliches braucht keinen Spott und ständige Vergleiche mit anderen Anbietern. Bei Spirit of Island ist alles transparent und nichts muss mit Vergleichen “schön” geredet werden. Und immer wenn ich ein Schmuckstück nehme, denke ich an die schöne Beschreibung der Steine und weiß mit einem Lächeln ob er der richtige für diesen Tag ist.
Liebe Grüße Bettina
