The Month of the Aquamarine

March is an awesome month. It contains both St. Patrick's Day, Pi Day, and the First Day of Spring! :) It also has a very beautiful and unique birthstone: aquamarine! This stone in ancient times was thought to bring happiness and everlasting youth. It was also thought that water the stone had been submerged in contained healing powers and because of it's color it was also worn by sailors to keep them safe at sea and prevent seasickness. The most valuable color this stone comes in is still the deep-blue green color the gem is named for. So, Happy Birthday to all my friends and followers born in March! Enjoy! :)
