March Birthstone - Aquamarine, the Gem of the Sea

What is March’s Birthstone?

There are two birthstones for March: Aquamarine and Bloodstone. However, since March marks the end of the cold winter and the beginning of blooming spring, the clear blue hues of Aquamarine are particularly popular and more appropriate for the season than Bloodstone, which is deep green with red specks.

Aquamarine is a versatile gemstone that is widely used in modern jewelry designs. Birthstones Jewelry Inc offers a variety of aquamarine jewelry for you to choose from.

The Legend of Aquamarine

Aquamarine, the birthstone of March, derives its name from two Latin words “aqua”(water) and “marina”(sea). In ancient times, it was considered a talisman for sea voyages, as it was believed to have the power to calm the turbulent waves of the ocean. Wearing it was believed to bring good luck and protection during maritime journeys. The legend still lives on, so a piece of  Aquamarine jewelry would make a great gift for those sea travelers.

 

The Color and Symbolism of Aquamarine

Aquamarine, a member of the beryl mineral family, typically displays shades of blue ranging from light sky blue to deep ocean blue. However, it also occurs in less common varieties such as colorless, pink and yellow. The clear blue hue is particularly favored, often associated with calm, serenity and clarity.

 

The Benefits of Wearing the March Birthstone

According to symbolism, Aquamarine is believed to have the ability to soothe the mood and relieve stress, allowing the wearer to cultivate inner peace. Aquamarine is also believed to have a harmonizing effect on relationships, especially for married couples. This is why this gemstone is also recognized as the stone for the 19th wedding anniversary.

March marks the beginning of spring, so Aquamarine, the birthstone for this month, also symbolizes new beginnings and renewal. Some believe that wearing Aquamarine gives them the strength and courage to start over, even in the face of adversity.
