In Australia, where aquamarine is mined in notable quantities, it is highly appreciated not only for its beauty but also for its energetic properties that evoke the spirit of vast, serene Australian coastlines.
Geological Properties:
Aquamarine is the blue-to-blue-green variety of beryl. It forms in granite pegmatites and certain metamorphic rocks. Australian aquamarine is admired for its exceptional transparency and vibrant colours that can range from a faint light blue to deep sea blue, often depending on the depth at which it was formed and the presence of iron impurities that influence its colour intensity.
Spiritual and Emotional Significance:
Aquamarine is believed to be a stone of courage and fortitude that can bring great power. It aids in clear communication and is thought to be beneficial for those who speak for a living. Aquamarine's calming energies reduce stress and quiet the mind. It has an affinity with sensitive people and can invoke tolerance of others, giving support to those overwhelmed by responsibility.
