Aquamarine

Meet Aquamarine; the somewhat snowed-under but also quite precious brother of emerald! This one blue beauty has a hardness of 7.5-8 on the Mohs scale and is, therefore, virtually indestructible! The name aquamarine is derived from the Latin aqua marina, which of course means seawater. It is not surprising that aquamarine is seen as the sea stone… It was once said that it was a mermaid's stone and that its wearer would find love!

Aquamarine is associated with the zodiac signs Gemini, Libra, Aries and Pisces. Read more on which gemstones match which zodiac signs on this page!
