Aquamarine wears its biography in its name, aqua marina, seawater, and the folk file follows: Roman sailors carried the stone for safe passage, medieval lapidaries called it the treasure of mermaids, and the tradition has filed it under calm seas, courage, and clear speech ever since, the throat's stone in the chakra custom, the water element's gem on the crystal shelf. Mineralogically it is beryl, emerald's own family in its blue member, which is honest pedigree for a half-inch stone. Bezel-set in sterling, it wears as the sea kept close: the ring for the water-sign birthday, the swimmer, the speaker who wants the calm-voice file at hand. The stone calms no sea on its own, as we say plainly across the shelf; it wears the sailor's oldest blue, and the steady voice stays the wearer's.

1. Wear it daily; beryl is tough enough for the habit.
2. Remove for rough work; every set stone prefers it.
3. Cleanse by moonlight in the water stone's own custom.
