The birthstone for the month of March is Aquamarine. It can vary in hue from blue to greenish blue. It’s name comes from two Latin words: aqua, meaning “water,” and marina, meaning “of the sea.” It was said to calm waves and keep sailors safe.

Aquamarine is the green-blue to blue variety of the mineral beryl. Emerald is also from the same mineral but is the green to bluish green variety.
