This watery blue beryl is the birthstone for those born in the third month of the year
If aquamarine really does have a soothing influence, some of that is likely due to the beauty of the stone itself. According to GIA, “Faceted aquamarine is often exceptionally transparent with vitreous luster,” so when it sparkles it does so brightly! GIA also maintains that the choicest aquamarine “combines high clarity with limpid transparency and blue to slightly greenish blue hues,” and with a Mohs’ hardness of 7.5 to 8, it is a hardy stone. Maybe that durability is why aquamarine serves as the ideal gift for those celebrating 19 years of marriage. If you know someone who is, here are 15 great gift options.
