Aquamarine stone is a type of gemstone that belongs to the same family as emerald. Its name literally means "sea water," making it a crystal all about the ocean. It comes in different shades of blue, from light to deep, and all of them are bright and pure. Most of the examples are see-through and feel cool to the touch. It is a naturally formed blue crystal, not dyed. This makes it look particularly soothing and healing.

If you're usually timid and hesitant to speak up, or get nervous and tongue-tied when speaking in public, it can help you open up and speak freely. If you're constantly anxious, irritable, or prone to panic, it can soothe negative emotions and help you stay calm. If you frequently travel for work, go on trips, or drive, wearing it ensures a safe journey. And when your thoughts are jumbled, and your mind feels foggy, it can help you clarify your thoughts and avoid mental exhaustion.

Aquamarine has long been known as the “Stone of Courage” and the “Stone of Good Fortune,” symbolizing the courage to speak up, composure and calmness, safety and smooth sailing, as well as tolerance and open-mindedness. In ancient times, fishermen used it as an amulet to pray for the sea god’s protection during voyages. Today, it also symbolizes opening your heart, letting go of worries, and fostering more harmonious relationships with others.

Aquamarine is great for loads of different things, but the main benefits are as follows:

Boosts Communication: Overcome social anxiety and communication barriers. You will find that you can communicate more smoothly, speak confidently and effectively, whether you are at work, in class, or dealing with disagreements.

Emotional Healing: It helps you to feel less stressed in your daily life and at work, and it stops you from feeling worried or angry. It also helps you to stay calm and not lose your temper easily.

Enhanced Aura: Sends out a soft, pure energy that makes you more attractive to other people, and makes them more likely to come closer to you.

Mind-Body Relaxation: Eases tense nerves; helps calm the mind for those suffering from insomnia or racing thoughts.

The most everyday pieces are single-strand or multi-strand bracelets, which are great for making your skin look fairer and go with everything (they're both beautiful and photogenic!). We absolutely love pendants! When you wear them right on your skin, you can feel their amazing effects straight away. And they look so elegant on a necklace! And let's not forget the rings and earrings! They're so delicate and dainty, and they go perfectly with both casual outfits and dresses.

Our mini crystal beads have also been a massive hit – they're adorable, on trend, and great for DIY.

And don't worry if you're a beginner, there's no need to follow complicated procedures. All you need to do is choose a bracelet or pendant that you like. Before you wear it for the first time, it's a good idea to rinse it under clean water for 2–3 minutes, then dry it off and put it on. Give it a good old squeeze now and then to feel how refreshingly cool it is! Hey, no need to stress about complicated purification rituals! This one's a breeze to use, and it really gets the job done.

You can wear it every day – at work, school or when you're out and about. Try holding it during meditation to quickly calm your mind. Put it on your desk or bedside table to calm the atmosphere and create a quieter space.

Try to avoid hitting it against anything hard, like keys or metal jewellery, as this can cause cracks (best to store it separately). Just remember to take it off when you're showering, applying make-up or soaking in hot springs, and keep it away from perfume and cosmetics. Just give it a wipe with clean water now and again, and try not to leave it in the sun for too long, as this might make the colour fade.

Here's another tip: you can purify it every month by placing it near a cluster of clear quartz or under moonlight to restore its energy field.
