Aquamarine is a water element stone, powerful for cleansing the emotional body and opening communication. The gentle energy brings emotional patterns to the surface and assists in understanding the reason for holding onto old thoughts or patterns that are limiting forward motion. It also identifies where the ego is causing us to overreact, manipulate others, by releasing these patterns, it allows us to have better relationships, love, and compassion.
The name Aquamarine comes from the Latin aqua Marinus, meaning "water of the sea," and refers to its sparkling ocean colors. The pale blue, transparent crystal is a member of the Beryl family. Its color, sometimes bluish green, is caused by iron oxides within the chemical makeup of the stone. In Ancient times it was considered to be under the influence of the moon, today the supporters of crystal, suggest that when using an Aquamarine to view coming events, do so when the moon is increasing. It's the best time to reload and cleansing the stone.

The Aquamarine is the strongest stone for clearing and activating the Throat Chakra!!! It stimulates energy from the heart to the throat, that is the voice of the body, a pressure valve that allows the energy from the other chakras to be expressed. It allows us the expression of what we think and what we feel. We can communicate our ideas, beliefs, and emotions.
I remember myself always having the Aquamarine with me if as a bracelet, ring or necklace, and when I needed to mingle, give a lecture, or had a big meeting, I wore my "lucky Necklace". At the time I didn't know all the good powers and features, I just felt it was helping me. Today I know and I'm so grateful, it's a piece of Jewelry that you must have.
