Aquamarine Polished Necklace

For anyone about to set out on something.

Aquamarine is beryl coloured by trace iron, and its name says exactly what it looks like — aqua marina, seawater in Latin. It shares its mineral family with emerald, though the two couldn't look less alike; where emerald is famously included and fragile, aquamarine tends to grow clear and durable.

Sailors have carried it for centuries as a talisman against rough seas, and it was believed to calm the waters a ship travelled through — a tradition old enough that it's still the reason it's associated with safe travel today.

Aquamarine is worked with for calm, clear communication and a steady kind of courage — useful whenever something new is starting and nerves are part of it. It sits with the throat and heart.

Sheri chooses every piece by hand, cleanses it, and charges it before it's packed here on the Gold Coast.

A good stone to carry rather than display, especially before travel.
