Aquamarine crystal
Aquamarine is a very high vibrational stone that helps us develop and find our individual spiritual paths. This stone works very well with other crystals in the mineral kingdom, and we highly recommend meditating with other heart stones. Using these other stones in association with Aquamarine can help in the opening, cleansing, clearing, and speed in which one’s heart heals. Some of the few common heart stones we recommend are Rhodonite, Green Opal, Rose Quartz, Pink Halite, Chrysocolla and Green Calcite.
Aquamarine
Aquamarine is a blue variety of Beryl that crystallizes in hexagonal columns. The blue color of this stone comes from minor traces of iron. It can commonly be found in association with Muscovite. This crystal is a very rare stone that has a long history. The first recorded use of this mineral was around 400 B.C. in Greece, but has been used throughout multiple societies for over 2,000 years. Aquamarine can be found in the United States, Brazil, Australia and several other countries throughout Africa. The highest quality specimens currently on the market are coming out of Pakistan and Afghanistan.
Speak the Truth With Aquamarine
Aquamarine is a very special stone that helps in opening a clear channel between your heart and throat chakras. This ever so important connection allows one to constantly speak from the heart and to the highest truths. This beryl variety is a perfect stone to help aid you in the solving of conflicts, arguments and disagreements. Aquamarine can also support you in cooling those fiery emotions that desire to overtake us. The water element shines bright in this stone and urges us to peel back a layer of ourselves to allow that inner being to glow. In addition Aquamarine is here to help you constantly refresh your emotions and provide mental clarity. There are times when your heart will be completely open and clear, but yet your mind may tend to still be foggy. Aquamarine supports us in wisdom, intellect, knowledge, the enhancement of ideas, and clarity of the mind. When one’s open heart and clear mind are able to work in sync, the opportunities and relationships will become endless.
Communicating Through Aquamarine
This blue beauty is a stone of pure communication. Wearing or carrying a piece daily will help in choosing the right words, tone, and ideas when speaking to someone. Aquamarine softens the harsh rhetoric that can come out during disagreements, while also assisting one in focusing on clear communication. This stone is perfect for any teacher, manager, therapist, professor, or anyone else who often speaks publicly. The power that comes from Aquamarine can boost one’s confidence when speaking to a large crowd, and will help even the strongest stage fright cease to exist. This gemstone is here to help show the world the incredible communication skills you possess, and how they can be used to engage with large crowds or more personal conversations.
