Handmade natural crystal aquamarine 8 mm beaded and silver spacers on a stretchy cord. Fits a 7.5-8" wrist best. Aquamarine has historically been used as a symbol for youth and happiness due to its color, which has also, along with its name, made Western culture connect it with the ocean. Ancient tales have claimed that aquamarine came from the treasure chests of mermaids, which led to sailors using this gemstone as a lucky charm to protect against shipwreck. Additionally, ancient Romans believed this stone had healing properties, due to the stone being almost invisible when submerged in water. Aquamarine healing properties include healing old wounds, opening up communication with oneself and others, skin diseases and conditions. Sometimes referred to as the “breath stone,” aquamarine is known to alleviate sinus, lung, and respiratory problems. It is also believed to help with bronchitis, colds, hay fever, and various allergies, and so much more.
