*Aquamarine*

*Aquamarine*

*Aquamarine is especially recommended for the respiratory paths, bronchitis, lungs and neck area. It protects from chills, inflammation of the larynx and strengthens the vocal cords. It firms-up the heart and helps prevent myocardial infarction. It strengthens the entire immune system and the thymus. It is useful for treating allergies and weepy eyes, as well as for the nerves, thyroid gland, and blood illnesses.

*Aquamarine increases our strength of expression and causes our lucidity to grow. This is why it is a perfect companion for artists, musicians, etc.

*It is attributed to the signs of Aquarius, Pisces, Libra, and Gemini.

*Aquamarine is particularly recommended for the chakras of the neck and the throat

*If you suffer from skin allergies, place an aquamarine in a clean glass of water filled to 1/3 it’s capacity.  Cover this and let it soak for the night: clean your skin several times per day with this water, applying it directly to the affected region, without “scrubbing”.
