Aquamarine is the primary March birthstone, a blue to blue-green variety of beryl with a hardness of 7.5 to 8. Bloodstone, a dark green chalcedony with red spots, serves as the traditional alternative.
Aquamarine measures 7.5 to 8 on the Mohs scale, making it suitable for jewelry worn often. The stone is associated with clarity, calm, and safe travel in folklore traditions.
Brazil produces most commercial aquamarine, with significant deposits also found in Pakistan, Madagascar, Nigeria, and Mozambique. The stone forms in granite pegmatites.
