AQUAMARINE...The Stone of Courage

Or a Mermaid's most Treasured of Possessions.  And March's Birthstone.

This Gorgeous Blue Stone has been valued by everyone from the Ancient Greeks and Romans, Sumerians and Egyptians, to the Archangel Raquel.

Romans believed that this Stone would join those in Love and lead to Great things.  Carving a Frog into the stone would reconcile Enemies.  Greek Sailors believed that possessing an Aquamarine would provide Courage, as well as Safe and Prosperous journeys over stormy seas.  Both believed that Aquamarine had the Power to Reawaken the Love of Married Couples.

Sumerians and Egyptians valued the Stone because it was thought to enhance Happiness and provide Everlasting Youth.

The Archangel Raquel, "Friend of God"  is often pictured with Aquamarine and uses the Stone to heal Personal and Professional Relationships.

So is it any wonder that Today we have made Aquamarine the traditional gift for a 16th and 19th Anniversary Gift, with it's Promise to reawaken Love, provide Happiness and Safe passage over Stormy Seas, and Everlasting Youth???
