Its light
blue arouses feelings of sympathy, trust, harmony and
friendship. Good feelings. Feelings which are based on
mutuality and which prove their worth in lasting
relationships. The blue of aquamarine is a divine,
eternal colour, because it is the colour of the sky.
However, aquamarine blue is also the colour of water
with its life-giving force. And aquamarine really does
seem to have captured the lucid blue of the oceans. No
wonder, when you consider that according to the saga it
originated in the treasure chest of fabulous mermaids,
and has, since ancient times, been regarded as the
sailors' lucky stone. Its name is derived from the Latin
'aqua' (water) and 'mare' (sea). It is said that its
strengths are developed to their best advantage when it
is placed in water which is bathed in sunlight. However,
it is surely better still to wear aquamarine, since
according to the old traditions this promises a happy
marriage and is said to bring the woman who wears it joy
and wealth into the bargain. An ideal gem, not only for
loving and married couples. |
