The birthstone for March is Aquamarine. The name aquamarine means “water of the ocean” and comes from the Latin aquatic algae, which refers to its gleaming color like the ocean. Its color (sometimes blue-green) is caused by iron oxide in the chemical composition of the stone.
Origin mainly found in Brazil, Russia and China.
Aquamarine is as blue as sea water, Ancients believe that aquamarine was produced on the bottom of the sea and was the essence of sea water. Therefore, navigators use it to pray to the god to bless the safety of navigation, and call it "Mascot Stone".
Whether in the East or the West, water is regarded as the source of life, and March is the time when all creatures on earth begin to become active, so aquamarine with the attribute of "water" is defined as the birthstone of March, symbolizing comfort, bravery, happiness and longevity.
