The latest news at Lava Jewelry: I’ve temporarily moved all of my jewelry to my Etsy shop, while I completely revamp the Lava Jewelry web site. The web site will be back soon, bigger and better than ever before!
Lava Jewelry is prepared for those March birthdays, with pretty light blue aquamarine jewelry in stock.
Aquamarine is the light blue variety of the mineral beryl. It is closely related to emerald, which is the green variety of beryl. The blue color is caused by iron impurities in the mineral. Beryl forms in granitic pegmatites. Now for the definition of granitic pegmatites – these are bodies of silica-rich magma that cool very slowly deep in the earth, and form large crystals.
From mineralminers.com:
“Traditionally, aquamarine has been used as a charm by sailors for protection while at sea. It also is believed to preserve and enhance mutual love and to maintain a good marriage, and to ensure truth in relationships and business dealings.”
“Aquamarine is said to release anger and negativity replacing them with mental peace and clarity, providing emotional and mental balance. It is also said to aid in meditation, and to give courage and to assist in self-expression.
Aquamarine is said to help reduce dependence on drugs, to aid in digestion, as a remedy for swollen glands and to maintain the health of the jaws and teeth. ”
