The birthstone for March babies as well as being the gift you give for your 19th anniversary.
Aquamarine—the sea water stone—has a very soothing energy. The beautiful aquamarine is associated with March, and so becomes the birthstone of the astrological signs of Pisces (March 1 through 20) and some members of Aries (March 20 through April 20) as well as the Chinese zodiac's sign of the Ox.
Most of the aquamarine on the market today comes from Brazil, Madagascar, Sri Lanka, Pakistan, Colombia, India, Russia, and several other countries.
The name aquamarine means sea water and Aquamarine, like the emerald, is a variety of beryl. In its light blue-green shades, aquamarine can be quite affordable but the deeper blue color of aquamarine can command high fees. Most aquamarine used in high-end jewelry is heat-treated to deepen its blue color, but raw aquamarine has the benefit of a more potent energy.
Energy-wise, the aquamarine is ruled by the Moon and is infused with yin or feminine energy. In its healing and nourishing effects, the aquamarine can be compared to the moonstone.

If you feel drawn to the wise and soothing energy of aquamarine, you can purchase either a small stone or a form of aquamarine jewelry to enhance your personal energy.
