Aquamarine is traditionally March's birthstone. The gem's name literally means "ocean water", which dates back to ancient times when sailors believed that the glitterin, watery gems came from the treasured chests of mermaids. Aquamarine is a cousin to Emerald and Morganite, however it's color is more pure, and it's attributes are less brittle than Emerald, making it very desirable.
