Learn More About the March Birthstone, Aquamarine, and Test Your Knowledge on My Quiz!
The blue, or blue-green, of this gemstone is so clear. It reminds me of crystal-clear bodies of water - the ones where you can see all the way to the bottom. Actually, its name comes from the Latin "aqua," meaning water, and "mare," meaning sea. So, aquamarine literally means "water of the sea" or "sea water." It's perfect for the Pisces (zodiac sign for March), symbolized by two fish swimming in opposite directions.
Energetically, aquamarine can mean many things. To me, though, it speaks of calm, harmony, clarity and spiritual awareness.
