Aquamarine Tumbled Pendant, 3/4 Inch

Genuine tumbled aquamarine. Each pendant is a real aquamarine nugget, tumbled smooth so the pale blue to blue-green color shows without facets. No two are identical in shape or shade.

Full metal cap and loop. The stone is capped rather than drilled, which protects the beryl and gives you a sturdy loop that fits most chains and cords. Just add the chain you already wear.

Worn for peace and clear speech. Judy Hall places aquamarine at the throat chakra and Cunningham lists peace and courage among its powers, which makes it the pendant for hard conversations, readings, and any work where you need to speak plainly and stay calm.

An aquamarine pendant is used for peace, courage, and clear communication in Wiccan and eclectic crystal practice. Cunningham's Encyclopedia of Crystal, Gem and Metal Magic assigns aquamarine to the Moon and the element of Water and lists psychism, peace, courage, and purification among its powers; Judy Hall's Crystal Bible places it at the throat chakra. The lore of sailors wearing it for safe passage goes back to Roman writers, and the name, from the Latin aqua marina, has stuck for two thousand years.

You can wear it during readings and divination for the Moon association, hold it before a conversation that needs honesty and calm, or set it in a bowl of water on a Monday, the Moon's day, to charge it. As the March birthstone it also makes a natural personal talisman for anyone born that month.

Aquamarine does not shout. It settles the water so you can see the bottom.

1. Cleanse the pendant with a brief rinse in cool water or a pass through incense smoke. Aquamarine is a hard stone and handles water well; dry the metal cap afterward.
2. Charge it under the full moon or in a dish of water on a Monday, the day of its ruling planet.
3. Wear it at the throat on a short chain before a difficult conversation, a reading, or any time you want to speak plainly and stay calm. A short affirmation helps: "I say what is true, gently."
4. For divination, hold it in your receiving hand while you shuffle or scry, letting the Moon and Water associations open the way.
5. Return it to moonlight once a month to keep it fresh.

Wear it near the sea if you can. If you cannot, it will bring the sea to you.

What is an aquamarine pendant used for?

An aquamarine pendant is used for peace, courage, and clear communication. Cunningham assigns aquamarine to the Moon and Water and lists psychism, peace, courage, and purification among its powers, and Judy Hall places it at the throat chakra. Practitioners wear it for honest conversations, readings, and moon work, and as the March birthstone.

Is this real aquamarine?

Yes, this is genuine aquamarine, the blue to blue-green variety of the mineral beryl, tumbled smooth rather than faceted. Tumbled stones show the natural color and inclusions of the rough, so each pendant varies a little in shade and shape. It is capped with metal rather than drilled to protect the stone.

Can aquamarine go in water?

Yes, aquamarine can go in water. It is a hard, stable beryl that tolerates rinsing and short soaks, which makes a bowl of water under the full moon a traditional way to cleanse and charge it. Dry the metal cap and loop afterward so the finding stays bright, and skip salt water to be safe.

Is aquamarine the March birthstone?

Yes, aquamarine is the modern birthstone for March, shared with bloodstone. That makes this pendant a simple, meaningful gift for a March birthday, and a personal talisman for anyone born that month. Wearing your birthstone is one of the oldest folk customs for carrying a little personal luck.

What chain works with this pendant?

Any chain or cord that fits through the metal loop works with this pendant, including sterling curb chains, snake chains, and waxed cotton cord. A shorter chain, 16 to 20 inches, sits the stone near the throat, which suits its throat chakra association. The pendant is light, so a fine chain is fine.
