Derived from the Latin aqua marina, meaning “water of the sea,” Aquamarine has captivated civilizations for centuries with its tranquil blue clarity. Ancient sailors carried the stone as a talisman for protection, believing it calmed ocean waves and ensured safe passage across stormy waters.
Scientifically, Aquamarine is a blue to blue-green variety of the mineral beryl, the same family as Emerald and Morganite. Its serene color is caused by trace amounts of iron within the crystal structure. Ranking 7.5–8 on the Mohs hardness scale, Aquamarine is both durable and luminous, making it ideal for fine jewelry meant to be worn and cherished for generations. The finest specimens are prized for their exceptional transparency and crisp, oceanic hue.
Aquamarine has been recognized as the official birthstone for March since 1912, symbolizing renewal, clarity, and the quiet strength of early spring. Its cool blue tones reflect the transition from winter to warmer days, light returning, water flowing, and new beginnings unfolding.
