Aquamarine, the birthstone for March, is known for its soothing blue color reminiscent of the ocean. Its name comes from the Latin word “aqua marina,” meaning “water of the sea”. This gemstone is believed to bring calmness and clarity to the wearer. 

Aquamarine is often associated with qualities such as serenity, courage, and youthfulness. It is believed to enhance communication and promote harmony in relationships. Its color ranges from pale blue to blue green, with the finest specimens exhibiting a vibrant blue hue. 

The beautiful color of Aquamarine makes it a popular choice for jewelry, especially in the form of rings, earrings, and pendants. Aquamarine is also known for its durability, with a rating of 7.5 to 8 on the Mohs scale.

Bloodstone

Bloodstone, also known as “Heliotrope“, is a unique gem characterized by its dark green color adorned with red specks. This stone has long been associated with courage, strength, and protection. Historically, warriors often carried Bloodstone into battle, believing it could enhance their resilience. 

Bloodstone’s distinctive appearance and historical significance make it a popular choice for jewelry.
