Aquamarine Treasures Wealth and Happiness
“When you love a man, he becomes more than a body. His
physical limbs expand, and his outline recedes, vanishes. He is rich and sweet
and right. He is part of the world, the atmosphere, the blue sky and the blue
water.” ~ Gwendolyn
Brooks quotes
Aquamarine is a precious gemstone, categorized in mineral
group, beryl, along with sapphires. It is a pretty fascinating stone. All
credits go to its color, the mesmerizing, emotions-arousing, blue shade of
nature’s envelope, i.e., sky, provided to us.
Distinct in appearance, aquamarines are fascinating kind of
rocks, which are softer and soothing to senses. Its shade resembles color of
seas which are so calm and serene to look at. No wonder this is one of the most
extensively shopped and worn at all occasions.
This fine stone derives its name from the Latin ‘aqua’
denoting ‘sea’ and ‘mare’ signifying ‘water’. Because of their unique
captivating color, aquamarines have been symbolizing water as an element.
Whereas, Greeks believed, that aquamarine amulets adorned, would save them from
the wrath of sea god, Poseidon. May be that’s why mermaids got a special place
in Poseidon’s heart, as mythologies say that, aquamarines were first found in
mermaids’ treasure chests and then somehow passed on to humans.
Other facts include that aquamarine eyeglasses helped
Germans to prevent shortsightedness. These petty-sized yet charming gems bring
out feelings of cheerfulness along with hopefulness, amity, and harmony. Anybody
possessing this pretty gemstone is believed to possess a source of happiness and
wealth.
Factually, its hardness lies between 7.5-8 Mohs, making it
relatively hard, as compared to other softer ones like tourmaline or quartz.
Therefore, it helps while removing inclusions, if any.
Sawing is the process termed to remove inclusions, where, a
diamond cutter, comes in handy. Its hardness contributes towards giving it
various desired cuts and shapes also.
The color decides its value. There are shades like sky blue
and teal which demand more cost and add value to the price. There are
aquamarines which, with a particular tantalizing, bluish shade, cut in a desired
cut, with more reflective facets, sparkle more resembling a diamond. It is
preferred more over a bigger price tag.
Talking about inclusions, aquamarines are wiser than other
gemstones. This stone has a good clarity as compared to other precious gemstones
and few inclusions. This is an ‘eye clean’ stone to the extent of transparency.
Bring home this alluring little transparent and spotless
piece of gem which will add to your joy and wealth. You may never know you might
attract the blessings of God by bringing aquamarine as a jewel stone which is a
unique and amazing one of its kind.
