Working with the Energy of Aquamarine

Aquamarine, the color of still, shallow water on a sunny day, reflecting the color of a clear sky. This calmness, peace and gentle joy related to going with the flow of nature characterizes aquamarine’s energy. 

The blue color of aquamarine relates it to the throat chakra, communication, and the respiratory system. Clear blue aquamarine supports clarity of thought with its balancing and harmonizing energies. In ancient times, aquamarine was reportedly carried by sailors to calm the waves. The harmonizing energies of aquamarine were thought to enhance the happiness of marriages. Melody, in her book Love is In the Earth*, calls aquamarine a “stone of courage,” encouraging the ability to always be prepared through one’s inner balance and calm. 

Stones associated with water are also associated with release of thoughts or energies that obscure or block well-being, sort of like having a shower to remove dirt! Aquamarine is a gentle cleansing stones, especially helpful in releasing worry and stress and encouraging renewal and rebirth. Perhaps it’s because the color of aquamarine is so joyful, it brings a smile to the face!
