Aquamarine is a silicate containing beryllium and aluminum, belonging to colored gems. Its color is mainly sky blue and sea blue, with rich dark blue as the top grade. Aquamarine is a rare gem with hard and dense texture and high transparency, which is mainly produced in Brazil, Russian Federation, China and other places.
In the jewelry market, aquamarine and emeralds belong to beryl, but emeralds are the oldest in the beryl family and a symbol of nobility, followed by aquamarine, which belongs to middle and high-grade gems. The internal crystals are distributed in hexagonal columns, and the top grade is pure in color, free from noise, less in defects and high in transparency.
The moral of aquamarine legend:
Legend has it that aquamarine is produced at the bottom of the sea and is the essence of seawater. Therefore, navigators use it to pray for the safety of navigation, which is called the "stone of blessing". It is also regarded as the "birthstone of March", symbolizing "calmness and courage" and "happiness and longevity".
The ancients found that aquamarine was as blue as seawater, so they gave it the attribute of water, thinking that this beautiful gem must come from the bottom of the sea and is the essence of seawater. Since then, aquamarine and "water" have forged an indissoluble bond.
Therefore, for people born in March, jewelry made of aquamarine can not only bring extraordinary external beauty, but also bring shelter and happiness.
Aquamarine is also called "the stone of love". In ancient Greek mythology, there was a Shen Feng named Roland, who was handsome and humble. Later he fell in love with a mortal woman, which was forbidden by the gods at that time. In order to be loyal to his love, he gave his life.
Before she died, Roland begged Venus, the goddess of love, to seal her soul in aquamarine as the birthstone of people born in March, and to bless people to find their own love. Therefore, people in Mediterranean countries like to wear aquamarine, so as to have sweet love and maintain a happy marriage.
