Question 2386: Amethyst or aquamarine? (and why…)
Amethyst is a beautiful stone and a great one to use for its energy and attributes, but aquamarine is my birthstone, so what do you think?
These are different polished aquamarine stones, except I’d guess the class ring could be simulated/synthetic. I have raw aquamarine stones, too, so color variations don’t surprise me.
You don’t have to be a March baby to appreciate aquamarine. Here’s info from a quick Google search:
- Aquamarine represents happiness, hope and everlasting youth. In ancient times, aquamarine was thought to protect those at sea.
- Aquamarine is said to help you sift through energy and information, create mental clarity, and soothe an overactive mind; it’s even used to improve the intellect.
- For feng shui practice, aquamarine crystal benefits revolve around the gemstone’s calming, balancing properties. And the blue-green color of aquamarine crystals is good for its ability to shield a home from bad energy.
Peridot here. I like it but don’t love it. I love LOVE moonstone
I love peridot and moonstone. They’re both great stones. Actually, I’d probably say that about all stones, though as with you, some resonate more strongly for me than others .
The more you know them, the more you appreciate them. Peridot is one of my heart chakra stones. Moonstone I’d use for the higher chakras, especially the third eye and crown.
