Moss Aquamarine Pendant with Rose Gold
The name Aquamarine comes from the Latin aqua marinus, meaning "water of the sea," and refers to its sparkling ocean-like color. Moss Aquamarine is a variety of Beryl which is colored by iron trace elements that form minute internal characteristics giving the stone a moss-like appearance. Moss Aquamarine is most recognizably a greenish blue hue showing mossy features within a transparent gem. Aquamarine evokes the purity of crystalline waters, and the exhilaration and relaxation of the sea. It is calming, soothing, and cleansing, and inspires truth, trust and letting go. In ancient lore, Aquamarine was believed to be the treasure of mermaids, and was used by sailors as a talisman of good luck, fearlessness and protection. It was also considered a stone of eternal youth and happiness. [Simmons, 49] Today it protects all who travel by, over, or near water, and opens the channels of clear and heartfelt communication.
