The birthstone for March, the name 'aquamarine' is derived from two Latin words: aqua, meaning 'water,' and marina, meaning 'of the sea.' To the Ancient Romans, this gemstone was heavily associated with sea-faring and sailing believing that aquamarine would provide protection for sailors, which is why the Romans nicknamed it “The Sailor’s Stone”.
