The birthstone for March is Aquamarine.
It is said that Aquamarine is the Stone of Courage and Serenity
used to soothe, calm and alleviate fears and phobias, promotes safe travel on water, releases anxiety, restlessness, and combats depression.
Aquamarine blue the colour of the sky and of water is a variety of Beryl. No wonder this stone is attuned to the ocean and helps us to
get in touch with the spirits of the sea. Close your
eyes, breath deep and remember sitting on the beach at dusk, the water coming
in, the cool breeze. This is Aquamarines gift to you.
According to legend it has its origin in the treasure chest of
the mermaids, and has for ages been reputed to be a lucky stone for sailors.
Very good stone to take on vacations and cruises.

I have never been in the postion to buy this beautiful gem, but if this is your birthstone perhaps you have a piece of jewellery that you would like to share with us? Love to hear from you....
If it is your birthday this month - my very best wishes for a year filled with good health and happiness.
