Pale blue eyes

Beautiful drops of Aquamarine -  A stone for hope, happiness, emotional clarity and protection - I have made a few of these small delicate raw rectangular cuboids. This greenish blue colour beryl mineral is part of the hexagonal crystal system. 

9.04 grams  & 4.5cm wrapped in sterling silver.

It has always enchanted humans; It was said that sea merchants would carry Aquamarine in their pockets to protect them from the fear of drowning, The Greeks believed it gave safe and sage passage across stormy seas, the Egyptians adored the blue hues and believed it was a stone gifted as a symbol of happiness. It was said by many to be an antidote to poison, a mermaids spell, an oracle, and a talisman or offering that helped to bring the rain thundering down upon lands of drought. 

To cleanse this gem, bring it back to its source - Water - whether that's the Chalice well water, sea water or rain...
