AQUAMARINE

Aqua" is the Latin word for water and "marine" means of the sea, which signifies the Aquamarine stone meaning and its link to ancient water kingdoms.

Aquamarine is known for its incredible anti-aging effects. For youthful and vibrant skin at any age, make beauty water with pieces of raw Aquamarine, which works best for this cleansing water. First, cleanse your crystals with warm filtered water, making sure that they’re free of dirt and loose particles. Keep in mind that it's common for these crystals to still have earth on them because of their natural state. Once the crystals are clean, place them in a glass bowl and cover with filtered water. In the morning set the ball in direct sunlight and let the gemstones absorb the amazing power of the sun. If it's a full moon, you also have the option of placing the Aquamarine stones under the moonlight overnight. Now that you have a beauty water infused and activated with Aquamarine healing properties, splash on your face in the morning and night while saying “self-love” affirmations such as "I am worthy," "I love myself," or another mantra that speaks to your true inner spirit. Refill the bowl with water and return it to the sunlight or under the moonlight, and always have a constant supply of invigorating and soothing Aquamarine water, a rejuvenating addition to your daily skincare routine.
