Colorado – AQUAMARINE



Aquamarine is the blue variety of the mineral beryl, making it a distant cousin of the Emerald.   Its name originates from the Latin, meaning 'water of the sea'.
Aquamarine draws its energy from the ocean allowing its holder to unite with the spirits of the sea.  

In ancient times sea travelers would carry it with them to protect them during their journeys.  Like the ocean, the Aquamarine has a calming effect and can diminish fears and phobias and has been thought of as a “Stone of Courage and Protection”.

The Aquamarine is a perfect stone to give your students as it can aid in the absorption of new knowledge and encourages intellectual growth.  It can also expedite the ability to problem-solve and to “think quickly on one’s feet”.   Aquamarine will help to sharpen intuition and promote clear thinking.

This beautiful blue stone encourages one to see other perspectives’ and promotes tolerance.  Aquamarine can help one to change old, sometimes destructive, habits and replace them with more positive behaviors.

Aquamarine aids in the healing of diseases of the throat, jaw & teeth, including the thyroid and pituitary gland.  And works on all sorts of stomach issues.  It can also help with allergies by calming an overactive immune system. 

This calming stone can help you to reduce stress by releasing damaging angers.  In the same way, the Aquamarine minimizes the chance of miscarriage.

The addition of Aquamarine to my necklace will calm my rebellious stomach while protecting me on the high seas.

Colorado designated Aquamarine as its official state mineral in 1971.
