Aquamarine is a blue to blue-green variety of beryl within the Silicates family.
Sourced through a community partnership in Huíla, Angola.
Historically prized by sailors as a protective stone at sea; its name comes from the Latin for 'seawater,' and it has been used in jewelry and trade for over two thousand years.
In the tradition, Aquamarine shows up most often around clear communication, courage, and finding calm during uncertainty. It's traditionally linked to the Throat and Heart chakras. If that resonates, keep a piece nearby when you need to speak clearly or navigate a difficult situation. Trust what feels useful and leave the rest.
These are traditional associations drawn from historical practice. This stone is not a substitute for medical or mental health care.
