Birthstones – March – Aquamarine
Aquamarine is a clear to opaque, light blue to light green variety of Beryl, which is a member of the Feldspar group. 
Legend says that it has its origin in the treasure chest of the mermaids. In ancient times sailors often carried it as a talisman to protect themselves from drowning and it is still reputed to be a lucky stone for sailors today.
Aquamarine is a divine and eternal colour that is in tune with water and its life-giving properties. Being attuned to the ocean it helps us to get in touch with the nature spirits of the sea. It promotes safe travel on water so it would be a good stone to take with you on a cruise.
