March Birthstone
Two very different stones. Aquamarine brings calm, clear water energy. Bloodstone carries strength and courage.
More About March Birthstone
Aquamarine has one of the most fitting names in the mineral world. It literally means “water of the sea.” And when you see a clean blue crystal, the connection is obvious.
For centuries sailors believed aquamarine protected them on ocean voyages. Some even carried the stones as charms during long journeys. Whether it worked or not is another matter. But the belief stuck.
Aquamarine symbolizes calmness and clarity. Communication too. The idea that truth should flow clearly. Like water.
People born in March are often adaptable personalities. They adjust quickly. Not easily shaken.
Bloodstone sits on the other side of the emotional spectrum. Dark green with small red spots. Those red inclusions gave it the name. Ancient cultures saw them as drops of blood.
The stone became associated with courage and endurance. In medieval Europe it was thought to strengthen warriors.
Together the two stones balance each other nicely. Calm mind. Strong spirit.
