Description
Pale blue aquamarine stands out against a light quartz matrix, accompanied by slender crystals of black tourmaline. The combination of cool blue, pale quartz and near-black mineral accents creates a distinct contrast of colour and structure.
Lore
Aquamarine takes its name from the Latin for seawater and has long been bound to maritime symbolism. Ancient mariners carried it as a talisman of
safe passage,
sometimes engraved with images of maritime deities, believing it offered
protection
and ensured a
safe return.
As a variety of beryl, it also inherited older associations with
purity,
clarity of mind,
courage,
fidelity
and
divine protection.
