March On, Babies

February will be coming to a close soon. (Being the shortest month makes that very easy) Once the Oscars come and go, it's onto March Madness and winter's last chance to be winter in NYC.

A new month means a new birthstone and the royal depths of majestic Amethyst will make way for the wide ranging blue colored Aquamarine. Its color ranges from light light blue to slightly green blue to deep teal. Aquamarine can be considered as much a classic as a ruby, emerald, or sapphire.

A little bit of lore: Sailors used to wear aquamarine gemstones to ward off seasickness and keep them safe.
