Gemstone Alphabet A

A is for Aquamarine.

The characteristic light turquoise blue coloured stone is a type of Beryl. Aquamarine literally means seawater. In folklore it is said that aquamarine gives the wearer protection against foes in battle or litigation. It also makes the wearer unconquerable and amicable, and quickens the intellect.

The Gemstone Alphabet combines a minimalist aesthetic of bold striped initial letters with geometrically striking and unusual gemstones and minerals. Science..but sexy!
