Aquamarine is a stone of courage. Considered a protective stone for travelers, aquamarine calms the mind, and reduces stress. This beautiful stone sharpens intuition, and works to open clairvoyance. Having an affinity with sensitive individuals, aquamarine gives support to those overwhelmed by responsibility and encourages the individual to take responsibility for themselves and their actions. This stone can help the individual evolve towards becoming more upright, persistent and dynamic in personality and is useful in helping breaking old, self-defeating personality traits.
Aquamarine filters information and clarifies perception while sharpening the intellect and clearing confusion. Having an ability to bring unfinished business to a conclusion, this stone helps bring closure on all levels. Clearing blocked communication, it promotes self-expression and understanding of underlying emotional states while soothing fears. Aquamarine, like blue lace agate, is a good stone to wear while in hot climates, as they both provide natural cooling. Aquamarine is believed to shield the aura, align chakras, clear the throat chakra and align the physical and spiritual bodies. Considered by many to be a wonderful meditation stone, its calming qualities help the individual to be receptive to communication from a higher plane.
