## Our Natural Aquamarine Jewelry
Aquamarine jewelry bears the color of the ocean on a calm day. This light blue, translucent, crystalline, sometimes slightly sea-green hue has a freshness and purity that immediately soothe the eye. Aquamarine is a variety of beryl, from the same family as emerald and morganite. It is iron that gives it its characteristic blue color. Its name comes from the Latin *aqua marina*, literally "sea water," and sailors have worn it for centuries as a protective talisman against storms and shipwrecks. Romans engraved portraits of Neptune on their aquamarines, Greeks believed it contained the very essence of the ocean, and Mediterranean fishermen tucked it into their nets to ensure a good catch.
In lithotherapy, aquamarine is a stone of serenity, calm communication, and fluidity. It primarily works on the throat chakra with a gentle and clear energy. Where sodalite structures speech and lapis lazuli affirms truth, aquamarine soothes and fluidifies expression. It is a stone that helps to communicate calmly even in tense situations, to express emotions without being overwhelmed, and to effortlessly find the right words. It is recommended for people who are afraid of public speaking, who get easily carried away, or who seek to communicate with more gentleness and clarity in their relationships or professional lives.
Aquamarine pairs beautifully with moonstone (intuition and softness), amethyst (deep calm), or rock crystal (amplification). The aquamarine and rose quartz duo is also very harmonious for combining gentle communication and an open heart. For maintenance, a rinse with clear water and recharging under moonlight are sufficient. Aquamarine also tolerates gentle sunlight, but avoid prolonged exposure. With a hardness of 7.5 to 8 on the Mohs scale, it is a resistant stone and perfectly suited for daily wear.
