Aquamarine, long associated with the ocean and water, is the modern birthstone for those born in March, and is traditionally known as the zodiac stone of Scorpio, October 24- November 22. Aquamarine is a member of the beryl family, which includes emerald, but aquamarine is less brittle and more durable than emerald. Aquamarine ranges in color from light blue to bluish green to deep blue. Aquamarine is the stone of courage, and helps alleviate fears and phobias while strengthening mental clarity and communication. Aquamarine calms and supports the 5th Chakra or Throat Chakra.

Pearls are one of the modern birthstones for June. They have been recognized since the earliest times as the emblem of purity and modesty. Royal families throughout history and geography have revered the pearl as one of the most valued treasures while collecting and adorning themselves with this lustrous, organic gem. Most commonly found today is the cultured pearl from pearl farms. Pearls are produced by mussels in freshwater lakes or rivers, or by large oysters in the ocean. Freshwater pearls naturally occur in white to pink shades, but are now dyed, heat-treated or irradiated to achieve many fashionable colors. Tahitian pearls come in shades from silver, to green to black and their colors are natural. South Sea pearls range from white to golden shades naturally as well. Both South Sea and Tahitian pearls are prized for their size, luster, and natural color and are considerably more valued than Freshwater pearls because of their comparative rarity.
