Happy Birthday March Babies ... Your Birth Gemstones & Birth Flower!

A Happy Birthday to all who are born in the month of March.  You have 2 special birthstone gems. One is called an ...  Aquamarine. It forms in large crystals, is a lovely shade of blue-green, and is mined in many countries throughout the world.

It is a very durable gemstone that is used to create beautiful pieces of jewelry. In addition, it is also associated with possessing soothing energies as well as being a symbol of eternal youth and happiness.  And that's not all!

It is sometimes referred to as Mermaids' Treasure. Though nothing more than a fanciful tale, people once believed that the gemstones were actually formed from a mermaid's tears.

Sailors, too, revered aquamarines and considered them a good luck charm. Many a sailor would tuck a stone into his pocket to protect him as he journeyed across the perilous oceans of the world. Now let me tell you about your 2nd birth gemstone ... Bloodstone.

Bloodstone is the more common name. Also called, Heliotrope, is actually green jasper with red specs of Hematite.  Hence, the name Bloodstone. It is dark green or greenish-blue in color. It is often associated with having magical properties. 

                                          Usually, it is formed into beads to make necklaces

                                                         or can be fashioned into lovely rings.
