Aquamarine: Legend has it that aquamarine came from the treasure chests of mermaids, and because of this, became the lucky stone of sailors. Aquamarine is derived from the Latin words for aqua (water) and mare (sea). It is said to relieve one of seasickness, nerve pain and toothaches. It is also said to give the wearer feelings of harmony, friendship and trust.

Citrine is believed to be especially powerful for stimulating one's mental capacities, thereby enhancing creativity and bolstering self-confidence. It is said that wearing citrine will improve memory, make you feel more optimistic, and give you more energy in everything you do. The magnetic powers of citrine are believed to relieve depression, fear, and give you the confidence that you need to continue with success in your life.

Tourmaline: Tourmaline derives its name from the Sinhalese word “tura mali” (stone of mixed colors). However, according to the Ancient Egyptians, tourmaline traveled along a rainbow on its way down to earth, which is why it’s sometimes called the “rainbow stone”. No two pieces of tourmaline are the same. Tourmaline is said to have a powerful influence on love and friendship. It is said to help dispel fear and grief, and can lend itself to give tranquil sleep.
