Aquamarine & Bloodstone

One of the gorgeous gemstones for March is Aquamarine. This is a cool blue or cyan color formed from the mineral species of Beryl, which makes it durable, pure, and visually diverse. Pure Beryl is usually clear, however the blue color in this gem is a result of iron that is present in the deposits where it formed — making the deeper blue stones more valuable, as they occur less frequently in nature. Aquamarine means serenity, as these gems have evoked images of sea water and endless skies for generations, so sailors would bring aquamarines on their voyages for calming purposes. These birthstones are also said to inspire harmony in marriage, so they make a great gift for new brides, moms, or a friend planning to take a voyage anytime soon.

Another gemstone for March is Bloodstone. Also known as heliotrope, this gemstone is a striking and historically significant birthstone for March. This dark green chalcedony is flecked with vibrant red spots, giving it a unique and captivating appearance reminiscent of blood droplets on a mossy forest floor. Revered for centuries for its perceived mystical and healing properties, bloodstone has been used in jewelry and decorative arts across various cultures. Found in regions such as India, Brazil, and Australia, bloodstone continues to be cherished not only for its association with March birthdays and the zodiac sign Aries but also for its rich symbolism of courage, strength, and vitality.
