Those born in the month of March get to rock the stunning aquamarine birthstone. Aquamarine is said to possess major healing properties and has even been thought to cure diseases impacting the stomach, heart, and liver (via Almanac). People thought that drinking a liquid that had been infused with the healing crystal would help to remedy their ailments.
The gem has also been known to bring luck, and sailors long ago would wear talismans of aquamarine engraved with Neptune, the god of the sea, in hopes of protecting them when they set sail. Sailors would also place the gem under the pillows to get a good night's sleep, keep them calm on their voyages, and keep away poison and spoiled foods. According to Uncommon Goods, Aquamarine is also a gem that inspires happy marriages and can make a wonderful gift for a new bride, mother, or friends who love to head out into the open water.
Jewels For Me notes that aquamarine was a symbol of eternal youth to many Sumerians, Egyptians, and Hebrews. In the middle ages, the gem was used to make crystal balls and was considered to be very powerful when it came to fortune-telling and seeing the future.
