Aquamarine

Aquamarine is the blue to blue-green variety of the mineral beryl — the same species as emerald and morganite — and its colour comes from traces of iron held in the crystal structure. Its name is simply Latin, aqua marina, 'water of the sea', and Roman and later European sailors are said to have carried it as a talisman for safe passage and calm waters. It is the birthstone for March and the traditional gemstone for a nineteenth wedding anniversary, and most material on the market today is mined in Brazil, Nigeria, Madagascar, Mozambique, Pakistan, and Zambia. At roughly 7.5 to 8 on the Mohs hardness scale it is one of the tougher stones we work with, which makes it well suited to beads worn every day. In crystal tradition aquamarine is regarded as a stone of the throat and of clear speech, traditionally believed to steady the nerves, cool a hot temper, and help you say the difficult thing kindly — which is why it is often chosen for new jobs, hard conversations, and travel. Our aquamarine pieces range from the Aquamarine Pearl Fortune Money Bag Charm Bracelet and the Obsidian Aquamarine Wisdom Bracelet to multi-stone designs such as the Aquamarine, Strawberry Quartz, Amethyst & Moonstone Pixiu Healing Bracelet and the Multi Gem Fortune Mala Bracelet, alongside the Tiny Natural Crystal Harmony Bracelet and the faceted Cube Natural Crystal Essence Bracelet. Because every stone is natural, tone varies from a pale sea-glass blue to a deeper teal, and beads within one bracelet will not match perfectly. A care note worth knowing: aquamarine is hard but its colour can be affected by prolonged high heat, so keep it away from direct sunlight for long stretches and clean it with warm water and a soft cloth rather than harsh solutions.
