What is Aquamarine?

Aquamarine is a variety of the mineral beryl, the same family that includes emerald and morganite. Its name is derived from the Latin words aqua marina, meaning “water of the sea.”

With its soft, soothing blue-green shades, Aquamarine resonates deeply with the element of water—inviting calmness, emotional clarity, and fluid communication. It’s often referred to as the Stone of the Sea, and energetically, it’s considered a Stone of Courage and Clarity.

A Brief History of Aquamarine

Aquamarine has held a sacred place in human history across many cultures:

• In ancient Rome, it was believed to absorb the atmosphere of young love and was often given as a wedding gift.
• Sailors in the Middle Ages carried Aquamarine to protect against storms and sea monsters, trusting it to ensure a safe voyage.
• In medieval Europe, it was thought to reawaken love between married couples and help settle disputes.
• In metaphysical traditions, Aquamarine was believed to align the physical and spiritual bodies, cleansing emotional residue and opening channels of spiritual communication.

Over time, Aquamarine has come to represent truth, trust, and letting go—making it ideal for those navigating emotional healing and personal evolution.
