AQUAMARINE

PROPERTIES: LUCK + FEARLESSNESS


Aquamarine is a favorite of fortune, blessing the stone with an aura charged with luck. Aquamarine is also known to provide a brave and fearless energy that bolsters one's confidence in the face of adversity. As a water stone, aquamarine has healing properties, and aids in defense against both physical and spiritual ailments, anxiety, and restlessness.

Derived from the Latin word for “sea water,” aquamarine is key in encouraging bravery and strength even in the maw of unrelenting storms. If you wear aquamarine gemstones, you wear a protective barrier from negative influences, free to sail confidently through life.

There are many myths and legends surrounding aquamarine. One Roman legend wrote that “when blessed and worn, it joins in love, and does great things.” This legend indicated that aquamarine is a central gemstone in assuring luck between young lovers or married couples. Many other legends believed that aquamarine granted the wearer invulnerability; a significant number of myths recounted soldiers going into battle with aquamarine and emerging unscathed.

AMETHYST

PROPERTIES: PROTECTION + CLARITY


Amethyst, also known as the Royal Stone for its naturally regal purple hues, provides an aura of protection and security as well as clarity and a sharp, intelligent focus. Amethyst jewelry provides the wearer with spiritual protection from negative energies and the evil eye. Amethyst is also a cherished stone for its use as an aid for those experiencing difficulty sleeping, skin irritation, arthritis, and more.

The amethyst gemstone stems from the Greek word améthystos, which means “not intoxicated.” Accordingly, amethyst is said to bring spiritual groundedness, calm, and peace just from looking at the gemstone. Its vivid purple and soothing white have constituted sobriety and purity of both emotions and spirit. Additionally, amethyst is excellent for those looking to meditate and find tranquility within themselves.

Undoubtedly, amethyst is one of the most spiritually potent crystals of all. It’s the only quartz crystal with its signature purple coloration and it can be found all over the world.
