The Stone of Communication and Courage
Aquamarine
Aquamarine belongs to the beryl family, and its colour recalls clear, tranquil seawater. Since antiquity it was carried by sailors as a talisman for safe voyages, and it has long been associated in folklore with communication, courage and emotional calm. Rather than promising any outcome, aquamarine is valued today for the gentle, steadying feeling it symbolises.

How to wear it
Which wrist
By tradition, when the focus is communication and expression it is worn on the right wrist; when the focus is settling the emotions, on the left. Choose whichever feels right to you.
Occasions
Many people like to wear aquamarine before an important talk, interview or negotiation as a calming ritual that helps them feel settled.
Cleansing & care
Moonlight or a clear-quartz cluster is the gentlest way to refresh aquamarine. Cleanse it about once a month and keep it out of prolonged direct sunlight, which can fade the colour over time.
