Im going to do a birthstone each month and to start it off for march....Aquamarine is a birthstone to keep those born in March cool, calm and collected. Said to clear the mind of negative thoughts, its calming qualities include tranquility, wisdom and peace with underlining elements of confidence and strength....

Named for its resemblance to the colour of sea water, beryl in hues of blue-green to blue in medium dark to pale tones is called aquamarine. It can be found in a variety of cutting styles and makes a brilliant and durable jewelry stone (hardness = 7.5). Virtually all aquamarine has been heated to reduce green tones and produce a purer blue, a change which is stable. Main sources are Brazil, Zambia, Madagascar and Nigeria.
