Aquamarine

Aquamarine is another one of my favorite stones. Even though my favorite colors are Orange, Red & Yellow; when it comes to healing stones I’m drawn to light blues and greens. Aquamarine reminds me of the beautiful water off the beaches in Cancun Mexico and the Lagoons of Negril Jamaica.
