Birthstone Facts
&
Folklore
Early sailors believed that aquamarine talismans, etched with the
likeness of the sea god Neptune, protected them against ocean dangers
and drowning. According to a related legend, ancient sailors believed
that mermaids' tails were made of aquamarine. The gem was called
the "Treasure of Mermaids" with the control to make the sailors secure
at the sea.
Perhaps because of its tie to water, the aquamarine is thought to
exude a calming, soothing influence; the stone helps the wearer stay
more cool and level-headed during stressful situations.
Many cultures believed that aquamarine had a relaxing influence on
land, particularly on married couples. It could reawaken love. It was
also a symbol of everlasting youth. Place your aquamarine under a full
Moon, to help restore its look and renew its energy.
In Roman times, aquamarine was
used to alleviate digestion, overeating and reduction of body fluid
retention, and stomach diseases; all one had to do was drink the water
in which the gem had been soaking.
It could also heal your heart, thymus, lymph nodes, throat, and immune system.
The aquamarine's healing energy is linked to the throat chakra, and
is thought to also help the wearer with communication
and self-expression.
