Treasure Opal & Aquamarine Drop Earrings

Aquamarine’s name comes from the Latin for seawater and it was said to calm waves and keep sailors safe at sea. March’s birthstone was also thought to enhance the happiness of marriages.

Aquamarine evokes the purity of crystalline waters and the exhilaration and relaxation of the sea. This tranquil blue stone is calming, soothing, and cleansing, and inspires truth, trust and letting go. In ancient times, Aquamarine crystals were believed to be the treasure of mermaids, and was used by sailors as a talisman of good luck, fearlessness and protection. It was also considered a stone of eternal youth and happiness. Today it protects all who travel by, over, or near water, and opens the channels of clear and heartfelt communication. Under the light of the moon, Aquamarine is empowered to be a prophetic tool.

Opallios is the Greek word for Opals meaning To see a change of color. This precious stone is formed from rain, when water from rain seeps down into crevasses in the rock. Once the water evaporates, the silica that is left behind dries out and hardens into precious opal. ​It is one of few gemstones that have been found on the planet Mars.

Opal acts as a spectral delight within the aura. It enkindles optimism, enthusiasm and creativity, and allows for the release of inhibitions leading to freedom and transformation. Opal enhances cosmic consciousness and stimulates flashes of intuition and insight. It highlights attributes we may want to release, allowing us to examine them and assists in the process of letting them go. Opal illuminates the positive actions and emotions of the self, enhancing the good and true, and fostering one’s highest potential. It is a karmic stone with a reminder that what one sends out will return.
