The Basics
This enchanting stone is an ocean-blue color, just as its name implies. The lore of aquamarine is equally captivating. It was thought to be a treasure of mermaids and given to sailors to protect them against the dangerous power of the ocean.

This gemstone is from the beryl family, which is the same family as the emerald.

Aquamarine can be cleaned with warm soapy water. Ultrasonic and steam cleaners are usually safe, but should be used with caution.

Meaning
Given the myths associated with aquamarine, it is commonly considered to be a symbol of protection from harm. Additionally, this stone has a connotation with youth and overall health due to its perceived cleansing ability.
