The Serenity of Aquamarine
Aquamarine, with its ethereal shades of blue and green, mirrors the tranquil waters of the sea. This gemstone belongs to the beryl family, a group known for its variety of colours and high clarity. The name 'aquamarine' itself is derived from the Latin words for water ("aqua") and sea ("marina"), reflecting its oceanic hues that range from the palest blue to vibrant teal.Renowned for its stunning clarity and brilliance, aquamarine has been a beloved gemstone throughout history. It is said to symbolise serenity, clarity, and harmony, making it not just a beautiful choice for jewellery, but also a meaningful one. Aquamarine’s connection to the sea also lends it a sense of mystery and allure, often associated with the soothing qualities of water, making it a perfect choice for calming and meditative jewellery pieces.
The Vitality of Bloodstone
While aquamarine captures the serene qualities of March, bloodstone represents its more vigorous and robust aspect. Also known as heliotrope, bloodstone is a striking gem with a deep green colour, speckled with vivid red spots of iron oxide. This contrast gives the bloodstone its distinctive appearance and name, symbolising strength and vitality.Historically, bloodstone has been revered not just for its appearance but for its purported healing properties. It was often carried by warriors in ancient times as an amulet of protection and healing. Today, it remains a symbol of courage and endurance, making it an inspiring choice for those seeking a gemstone with a rich history and a connection to the physical strength and resilience of nature.
