3月の誕生石「アクアマリン」

March is the birthstone of Aquamarine, a member of the beryl variety of gemstones similar to emeralds.   Having been derived from the Latin words for water and sea, the aquamarine is probably the basis for some of the myths and folklore that surround this gem.  Often said to have the power to increase intelligence, youth and happiness, this gem is traditionally worn in pendants, earrings and rings.
