History: Roman fishermen called the gemstone “water of the sea” and used it as protection, for safe travel by boat, and for luck in catching fish. Aquamarine was linked to the apostle St. Thomas who frequently traveled by boat. Roman physicians also used it to treat overeating and bloating.
Everything that the endless blue ocean represents is included in the meaning of this stone. It represents exhilaration as well as relaxing calm. It is a stone that encourages you to let go of your feelings and cleanses evil thoughts and barrier-inducing experiences. The stone inspires trust and truth.
Gold was generally used for a couple thousand years solely to create things such as jewelry and idols for worship. This was until around 1500 BC when the ancient empire of Egypt, which benefited greatly from its gold-bearing region, Nubia, made gold the first official medium of exchange for international trade.
