Were you born in March? If yes, your birthstone is the astounding Aquamarine. Not only is it mesmerizing, but it also creates a powerful impact on communication skills. So if you often feel anxious, you need to look no further than this stone. 

Aquamarine is a stone that exists in natural and blue tones. In the ancient times, it was a popular choice amongst sailors due to claims of having the power to calm the sea.

Therefore, it falls under the category of semi-precious stones.

 

You can feel the elegance of its stone through its name. According to the high expertise of Nava Zahavi, this gem has a calm feeling.
