Aquamarine is the stone people come back to when they need to drop the revs. Not to switch off, but to think clearly and speak without the words catching.
💎 What is aquamarine?
Aquamarine is the blue variety of beryl, the same mineral family as emerald and morganite. Its colour runs from a very pale blue-green, almost clear, to a more saturated sea blue, and in raw form it keeps the natural faces and fractures of the crystal. It is a hard stone, the kind that stands up to daily use.

🌙 The best time to work with it
It is best worked on a Full Moon🌕 or a Waning Moon🌘. The full moon suits work on the mind and on clarity, and the waning moon helps let go of the anxiety that gets in the way of thinking. Beyond the phase, keep it to hand on the days your head races, or when you have a conversation ahead that you have been putting off.
How to use it
There is no single way. You can carry it in your pocket or in your bag on the days your head races, leave it on the bedside table if sleep is the problem, or keep it in plain sight on your desk. If you want it for one particular conversation, hold it in your hand beforehand and say to yourself what you need to say. Many people set it beside a blue candle while they word their intention.
🤝 Pairs well with
With blue kyanite if you are after stronger communication, since both work the throat. With howlite when the weight is insomnia. And with amethyst to settle the mind. If you work with candles, blue is the colour that goes with it.
Frequently asked questions
Why raw aquamarine rather than polished?
Raw means it has been through neither tumbler nor polisher: it keeps the natural faces of the crystal and its inclusions. For anyone who wants it as a mineral rather than as jewellery, this is the most recognisable form of the stone.
Will my aquamarine look like the photo?
Not exactly. It is a natural stone: shade, shape and size change from one piece to the next. The photo is a guide.
Can it get wet?
Yes. Aquamarine is hard and water does it no harm, so you can rinse it under the tap and dry it.
