The month of the year in which we are born can be decisive in our way of being, and that is why since ancient times each month of the year has been associated with a certain precious stone. Thus, all those born in a specific month of the year are identified with a precious stone by the qualities attributed to it.
And you, do you know which qualities and gems are associated with March? If you are one of the people born during the third month of the year, don't stop reading and you will discover why your birthstone is Aquamarine , and how it can be a good idea to always have this gem close by. We at Roosik & Co have done our bit by also preparing a beautiful selection of pieces with aquamarine. Let's go!
If we think of the first navigators who sailed the sea, we admire the security and courage with which they had to face it: the peoples of antiquity opened paths through the Mediterranean, from east to west, dominating the waters and establishing bridges between distant cultures. The sea as a vehicle, as a path that is at times placid and serene, but at times also furious and choleric. Probably because they knew enough, the ancient seafarers already had talismans with aquamarine stones , a name we owe precisely to Latin and which means nothing more than that: sea water.
We already know that water is colorless, but we inevitably associate it with the color blue. It is the color of aquamarine, a gem that belongs to the beryl group, the same as emeralds and morganites. But aquamarine is usually more transparent and offers white reflections that often take the shape of a six-pointed star... we'll see if we look closely. Those born in March certainly will, you are very observant people!
