March birthday stone, aquamarine

Charming march birthday stone, with pure blue aquamarine, reminiscent of the tranquility of the sea. Her original rock crystal size can be very big and have high clarity.
Aquamarine is one of the members of beryl. Pure state is colorless beryl, but trace elements make it show green, blue and pink/red. Aquamarine is usually soft light blue color, as the deeper the color, the value of the gem.

Oval and emerald cut shape usually can highlight aquamarine color and clarity. Aquamarine is very hard, up to 7.5 mohs hardness, very suitable for daily wear. Aquamarine is easy to maintain, as long as no feather crack or liquid inclusions, ultrasonic and steam cleaner is usually a safe choice. Warm water, diluted detergent and a toothbrush to swab gem behind easy to accumulate dust, can keep your sea sapphire luster to shine.
