Collection: Aquamarine

Aquamarine is a blue or blue-green variety of beryl, a beryllium aluminum silicate mineral with a hexagonal (trigonal) crystal system and a hardness of 7.5 to 8.

Its name comes from the Latin meaning "water of the sea". Historically, it has been a strong symbol of protection, specially among sailors. It was believed to be a treasure of mermaids, and it was used as a talisman to bring good luck, fearlessness and protection in the sea. It was also valued as a stone of eternal youth and happiness. 

As a water element stone, it will bring us in touch with the subconscious, the domain of spirit, and our deepest emotions. It has a very calming and soothing vibration. Its energy is refreshing and cooling. Aquamarine calms, but also brings us to a state of total alert and awareness of our feelings, knowledge and wisdom. Helping us to communicate, articulate and express them with clarity and conviction.
