Aquamarine Yielding from the Latin word for "seawater," Aquamarine is thought to have reflective properties that can reveal hidden aspects of reality. Aquamarine is the birthstone for March & is also given as a gift on the 19th wedding anniversary. Roman fishermen named the gemstone “water of the sea” & used it as protection for safe travel by boat & for luck in catching fish. Aquamarine was linked to the apostle St. Thomas who frequently traveled by boat. Folklore includes stories of Aquamarine found in mermaids' treasure chests, & it is often associated with the Libra & Gemini zodiac signs because of its connection to love & fidelity. However, it's strongest connection might be to the water signs Pisces & Aquarius. Aquamarine is also a popular birthstone for March, & is said to help facilitate the Throat Chakra, or 5th Chakra, for improved flow of communication. 

Rose Quartz From the Greek myth about the famous lovers Aphrodite & Adonis, Rose Quartz became known as the stone of love & reconciliation. Aphrodite was cut by a thorn bush while saving Adonis from an attack by her jealous ex-lover Ares, who disguised himself as a wild boar. The blood of Aphrodite & Adonis combined & stained white quartz, making it a rose-pink color that caught the attention of Zeus. Zeus showed compassion, & thus brought Adonis back to Aphrodite for 6 months every year. Believed to emit strong vibrations of love, Rose Quartz is known as a healing crystal & the stone of unconditional love. Ancient Egyptians associated Rose Quartz with Isis, the goddess of love, fertility, healing, & the moon. As a result, Rose Quartz represented a source of eternal youth, & it is thought to open the 4th Chakra, or Heart Chakra. Rose Quartz is most closely associated with the zodiac sign of Taurus, which is an Earth sign ruled by Venus.
