Aquamarine History & Lore

Writers of the middle Ages claimed aquamarine was the most popular and
effective of the “oracle” crystals. When cut as a crystal ball, it was
thought to be a superior stone for fortune telling. Many methods of
using the stone as a divining tool were described in ancient literature.
One method involved hanging a stone by a thread over a bowl of water,
just touching the surface. The inner edge of the bowl was covered with
the characters of the alphabet. The diviner was to hold the top of the
thread and allow the stone to hit certain letters, which would spell out
answers to an important question, sort of like a ouija board. Another
method was to cast a crystal into a bowl of pure water. The disturbances
in the water would reveal messages on the surface of the liquid.
Aquamarine’s powers of revelation were also said to help one in search
for lost or hidden things.
