March Birthstone: Aquamarine, the Stone of Pisces

The stone of Pisces for the month of March is the aquamarine, a beautiful blue that can range from nearly colorless to the deep blue of the sea. Sunlight can fade the color of the stone, so try not to expose your Pisces stone to the sun for too long.

The Lucky Stone of Pisces

The name "aquamarine" comes from Latin and means "the color of seawater," because the stone's color resembles the blue of the sea. Besides being a stone of water, aquamarine is often regarded as a stone of love. Aquamarine is found in many countries, but the largest gem-quality aquamarine was discovered in Brazil in 1910 and weighed 110.5 kilograms (243 pounds). Fortunately, Pisces jewelry comes in more practical sizes.

Aquamarine: Meaning of the Pisces Lucky Stone

Aquamarine encourages a relaxed and cheerful outlook. It is a variety of beryl in blue and greenish-blue tones. It also soothes anger, irritation and stress, and helps you stay honest and tolerant. The stone has a strongly calming effect. Because of its intense blue, aquamarine has always had a close connection with the sea. Legends tell of encounters with mermaids and of unconditional love thanks to the power of aquamarine. The Greeks and Romans gave aquamarine as a symbol of love and marital fidelity.

History of the Pisces Stone

From 700 BC until 500 AD, aquamarine was used as a talisman on journeys across rivers and seas. It was believed to protect against death by drowning, and it was often worn by those who sailed the Mediterranean. Later, many aquamarines were found engraved with prophecies, mostly related to the sea and its gods. The god of the sea is Poseidon, also known as Neptune. The hope was to keep him from causing earthquakes and storms by striking his trident into the earth.
