Spotlight on March Birthstone: Aquamarine

Aquamarine is a gemstone we all know and love. It is considered a mineral and is named after the Latin phrase aqua marina, or “water of the sea.”

This beautiful gem glows a delicate blue or turquoise coloring, hence the relation to sea water. It is also closely related in makeup to emerald. Technically, aquamarine is a transparent variety of beryl and is known to be found in yellow, pink and white varieties.

Aquamarine is the official birthstone of the month of March, as well as the gemstone associated with the 19th wedding anniversary. During the Middle Ages the stone was believed to hold the magical abilities to cure poison. Anciently, sailors toted the crystals to ensure a safe journey and safe return home. Sailors also believed mermaid’s fins to be made of aquamarine. I’m not sure how they thought the mermaids could swim…perhaps this is where the “drunken sailor” in them came out.

We often feature pieces with aquamarines in our jewelry auctions here on Bidz.com. Check the auctions daily to find the perfect pieces to add to your jewelry collection.
