Aquamarine is the birthstone for the month of March. The seawater color of aquamarine has given this gemstone its name from the Latin word for seawater.
The stone is believed to absorb the atmosphere of young love: “When blessed and worn, it joins in love, and does great things.” It is the most appropriate morning gift to give to a bride by her groom following the consummation of their marriage. In Medieval times, the stone was thought to reawaken the love of married couples.
