The Aquamarine:
The lucky gemstone for Aries is Aquamarine, which is a form of Beryl. Beryl, an aluminosilicate mineral, is the principal ore of the rare element Beryllium. Long prized as various gemstones, notably the deep-green emerald, the pale blue-green aquamarine, the pink morganite, and the golden heliodore, beryl is easily distinguished by its long, six-sided prismatic crystals but also forms compact to coarsely granular masses. The common material is whitish to green and is subtranslucent, while gem material is transparent. The stones have long been associated with particular kinds of luck or talent. The aquamarine is said to impart courage and heroism, a perfect fit for the Aries.
