Aquamarine is strongly associated with the water element and the sea. In ancient lore it was believed to be the treasure of mermaids, and today it is used to protect those who travel by, over or near water.
Associated with the Throat chakra, Aquamarine clears blocked communication and promotes self-expression. It helps to overcome the fear of speaking and allows one to become fully aware of their own truth, wisdom and feelings, with the ability to articulate them with clarity and conviction.
Aquamarine emits a gentle and compassionate energy, reducing stress and calming the mind. It sharpens intuition and opens clairvoyance, and is wonderful for meditation.
