Aquamarine ~ History & Lore
There are many myths and legends about the aquamarine stone. The Romans
believed that if the figure of a frog were carved on an aquamarine, it
served to reconcile enemies and make them friends. Another Roman legend
stated that the stone absorbs the atmosphere of young love: “When
blessed and worn, it joins in love, and does great things.” Aquamarine
was also considered the most appropriate morning gift to give to a bride
by her groom following the consummation of their marriage. The Greeks
and the Romans knew the aquamarine as the sailor’s gem, ensuring the
safe and prosperous passage across stormy seas. In Medieval times, the
stone was thought to reawaken the love of married couples. It was also
believed to render soldiers invincible.
