March's Gemstone is Aquamarine

Aquamarine is a light blue stone or blue green stone. Its name is derived from the Latin terms "aqua” meaning water, and "mare” or sea. Legends say that it is the treasure of mermaids, with the power to keep sailors safe at sea. Folklore says the aquamarine provides the wearer with foresight, courage, happiness, and increases intelligence. As a healing stone, it is said to be effective as a treatment for anxiety. Aquamarine was also claimed to have a positive influence on love and relationships. Aquamarine is the traditional birth stone for the month of March.
