March Crystal of the Month: Aquamarine

Aquamarine is the birthstone for those born in March (as well as Bloodstone) and it’s a truly magnificent crystal to have in your collection – it’s definitely one of my must-have rock stars!

This sea-like crystal can help you break out from mindless routines, stale habits, and fear-based thinking, and encourages you to follow your curiosity and explore your playfully creative side. It’s quite a youthful crystal, which brings joy and happiness. It’s the kind of crystal that makes you feel like a care bear and want to send out love beams to everyone!

As it’s a cooling crystal, it can also help calm overactive mental chatter and anxiety, infusing you with fresh rejuvenation and crystal-clear clarity. It helps to illuminate emotional patterns, bringing things to the surface so they can be acknowledged and healed. It can guide you to reprogramme outdated thought processes and attachments; it’s a great support crystal if you’re having therapy or counselling.

When suffering from grief, it’s also a great stone to go to as it will help you to let go so you can start moving forward, while still feeling the special bond with the spirit and memories of your loved one.

The soothing energies of Aquamarine can calm highly strung, emotionally sensitive, and angry people, preventing mood swings, tantrums, and meltdowns, so it’s great for toddlers, teenagers, hotheads, and drama queens. It’s definitely for anyone who gets road rage too!

When you need to embrace all aspects of who you are, reach for a piece of Aquamarine. Giving yourself permission to honour all the different parts of you – the parts you love, and even the parts you don’t – is one of the most empowering things you can do for yourself. When you find yourself leaning towards self-judgement, Aquamarine reminds you to open your heart and treat yourself with kindness.
Its energy, like its colour, is gentle and soothing. If you tend to be too hard on yourself, Aquamarine teaches you how to go easier so you can be more loving and compassionate with yourself.

Use the fluidity and flexibility of this stone to give yourself the space and permission to evolve, and to embrace yourself during the highs and the lows. Aquamarine encourages you to accept yourself fully today, tomorrow, and every day of your life.

Aquamarine also has a deep connection to water and is for anyone who secretly (or not no secretly) wishes they were a mermaid. Mermaids are one of our favourite mystical creatures: enchanting, sensual, half human, and half animal. Being both human and non-human makes them feel familiar and exotically unfamiliar, and this is one of the main reasons why mermaids are such powerful totems for us. So embrace your inner mermaid with Aquamarine and go with the flow!
