Hello Friends! Here is a fun little snack of knowledge for you! Especially for you friends with a March Birthday, or a loved one born in March…
Aquamarine is the traditional birthstone for March. It is also the accepted anniversary gem for the 19th year of marriage.
Aquamarines are found mainly in Brazil, Nigeria, Zambia, Madagascar and the Ukraine. The ideal color of aquamarine is a refreshing pastel sea blue. Stones with a clear blue color without green or gray are generally the most valuable. As part of the normal finishing process, some aquamarines are heated to remove traces of yellow.
If you are looking for a big, durable gemstone, Aquamarine is readily available in larger sizes and is truly dramatic when cut in rectangular or oval shapes. It is a member of the important beryl family, which also includes emerald. Although, as with all gemstones, care should be taken to protect it from scratches and sharp blows.
In ancient times, the stone was said to aid seafarers; thus it is an excellent gift suggestion for sailors or one who takes frequent cruises and enjoys aquatic adventures! To dream of aquamarine signifies the making of new friends, and to wear aquamarine earrings is said to bring love and affection. It is aslo a universal symbol of youth, hope and health.
To maintain the brilliance of this beautiful gemstone, it should be immersed in jewelry cleaner or in lukewarm soapy water and cleaned with a small bristle brush. Do not use a home ultrasonic machine.
