Aquamarine is the birthstone of March. Aquamarine gets its name from the Latin words meaning “Sea of Water” because of its range of blue colors from a light sky blue to a dark blue or blue-green. Originally considered to be the treasure of mermaids it was said to have the power to keep sailors safe at sea and is also referred to as the Stone of Courage.

Aquamarine not your color? Bloodstone and Rock Crystal are also March birthstones.
