Benefits of Aquamarine Strand
Aquamarine Water: Fountain of Youthful Vitality
Through the use of a simple technique, you can infuse your drinking water with the vitalizing energy of a strand or necklace of rounded Aquamarine gemstone crystals. The resulting Aquamarine Water reawakens your cells’ natural ability to rejuvenate and heal themselves.
Because of their short length, Aquamarine Strands are not designed to be worn around the neck.
Drinking Aquamarine Water is an easy and natural way to help unlock the secrets of longevity. By stimulating our cells’ capacity for self-renewal, Aquamarine Water can halt, and even reverse, the negative effects of aging. Drinking Aquamarine Water can help us reap the rewards that growing older is meant to provide: a deepening and expansion of our capacity for life. Aquamarine Water awakens the wisdom deep within our cells so that our hearts and minds can continue to flourish, and our bodies can enjoy the vitality, fluidity, and vigor that are their birthright.
Aquamarine Water encourages your atoms, and thus your cells, to enter and stay in an energetically fluid state. In this state, a cell more easily perceives and follows its “blueprint,” or energetic picture of its ideal condition. It also allows your body to accept and use more life energy. This energy nourishes and invigorates your cells, optimizing your body’s ability to evolve, maintain, and repair itself.
As your cells become permeated with Aquamarine Water, they naturally let go of the elements that contribute to aging and poor health. The Aquamarine energy also dissolves the harmful crystals associated with hardening and inflammation. As the water in your body is gradually replaced with Aquamarine Water, Aquamarine’s energy revitalizes and renews your entire body.
Aquamarine Rounded Chips
To make Aquamarine Water, it is best to use strands or necklaces of Aquamarine rounded chips rather than spheres or rondels. The irregular impact of water cascading over the chips releases the Aquamarine energy into the water. Aquamarine spheres or rondels will also release their energy into water, but the end product will be considerably milder.

Special Therapies
An Aquamarine strand can also be used to perform the following therapies.
Relaxation Technique
This technique uses Aquamarine energy to calm the body's energy flows and relax the entire body. An Aquamarine strand or necklace is formed into a small circle and placed first in the left palm and then around the navel. View instructions.
Pre-Treatment and Pain Relief
This therapy prepares a localized area for another life-giving treatment by helping the area's cells release negative energies and become more receptive to positive change. It can also be used to temporarily relieve pain in a localized area of the body. In both cases, an Aquamarine strand or necklace is formed into a circle and placed on the ailing area. View instructions.
Discovering the Cause of Illness
An Aquamarine strand or necklace is placed on the body overnight to discover the karmic causes of an illness or other physical condition. Dreams and insights are recorded in the morning and throughout the day. View instructions.
Cleanse Aquamarine Regularly
To maintain their effectiveness, therapeutic gemstones need regular care. As the gems help us release energetic impurities, some of these energies cling to the gems’ surface and inhibit their ability to work at their peak capacity. A simple energetic cleansing will clear these energies and restore the gems to their naturally vibrant state.
After you have made a batch of Aquamarine Water or performed a focused therapy, use one of the following methods to cleanse the gems. Learn more about these methods.
Plant Rejuvenation: Place the gems on the base of a healthy houseplant or lay them in its branches.
Salt Bed: Lay the gems in a half-inch of salt for at least an hour or overnight.
Water Rinse: Rinse the gems in alternating warm and cool water running water for at least one minute. Changing the water temperature helps release energy patterns that may have accumulated on the gems’ surface.
Sunbath: Every 1 – 2 weeks, place the gems in sunlight for a maximum of 5 minutes.
Clay Cleanse: For deeper cleansing, occasionally perform a bentonite clay bath or pack.
When Your Necklace First Arrives
When you put on a new necklace or one you haven’t worn for a while, bring it into your aura with consciousness and a clear intent. We call this “practicing presence.” By opening yourself to the gems’ energies and consciously cooperating with the process of change, you can greatly enhance the gemstones’ benefits.

What Makes Our Aquamarine Strand Special?
Unlike commonly available Aquamarine, Gemisphere’s Aquamarine is 100% free of any treatments—no dye, no heat, nothing but careful cutting and polishing. Its color and clarity resemble the crystal-clear waters of the Caribbean.
Therapeutic Quality Aquamarine Strands
The characteristics of therapeutic Aquamarine vary more than those of most other gemstones. Even the finest Aquamarine necklaces and strands vary in mass, clarity, hue, and depth of color.
Aquamarine naturally occurs in a wide range of color from green to blue, and nearly all Aquamarine is a mixture of both colors. The green aspect focuses primarily on the physical body, while the blue aspect works on both the physical and subtle bodies. The more that blue dominates in the blue-green mix, the more the Aquamarine will focus on the mind. Aquamarine color also ranges in intensity from deep and rich to colorless. The depth of Aquamarine’s color determines how deeply its energy can penetrate and affect the aura and body.
Aquamarine clarity spans a continuum from opaque to flawless, with all degrees of cloudiness and flaws in between. Opaque and even moderately cloudy Aquamarine are not therapeutic. Each therapeutic Aquamarine necklace or strand should have a consistent degree of clarity throughout the necklace or strand and a uniform, clearly definable color.
Aquamarine's color is often enhanced through heat or dye. Although heat treatment does not inhibit Aquamarine’s energy, it also does not strengthen it. Despite its improved appearance, the heated Aquamarine will continue to project its original, probably rather low quality of energy. Dye, on the other hand, renders Aquamarine therapeutically useless. Low-quality Aquamarine chips, in particular, are often dyed blue. The dye blocks the Aquamarine from radiating any healing energy into the aura and body.
Irradiation of Aquamarine results in the death of the crystal. It destroys the life energy of the gemstone and replaces it with an extremely disharmonious energy. If irradiated Aquamarine is worn, this disharmony will be projected into the aura. The destructive emanations of irradiated Aquamarine will first affect the mind, disrupting mental processes, distorting one's view of reality, and gradually wreaking havoc on the mind's harmony. Eventually, irradiated Aquamarine will distort the emotions as well.
Our Aquamarine Necklaces and Strands
Our therapeutic Aquamarine necklaces and strands are made with Aquamarine gems that have been cut from high quality crystals reserved for making faceted gems. They vary in color from green-aqua to pale blue-aqua to deep Caribbean blue.
Consistency is an important factor in creating an Aquamarine necklace or strand with a potent and harmonious energetic signature. Therefore, to make each necklace and strand, we carefully match chips for color, clarity, shape, and size. Thus, each Aquamarine necklace and strand is unique, and all are individually priced based on their total carat weight and quality.
Gemisphere’s Aquamarine is completely free of all artificial treatments and meets our high standards for therapeutic quality.

Chapter 15
Aquamarine: Connecting with the Ocean of Awareness
My spiritual master led us out of the land of golden yellow and through a tunnel of enormous, transparent veils that shimmered with iridescence as we passed. From there we entered a lush countryside where the colors of the thick grass and abundant trees, flowers, and streams glowed brightly. The landscape before us was unusually rich and seemed to vibrate with life.
We walked over a gentle hill and came to a small river. There we sat in a semicircle in front of my spiritual master. After a few moments he walked behind us and out of sight. I still felt his presence, but now my attention turned to the melodic sound of the water tumbling against the rocks in the riverbed. Soon I realized the air itself had a melody--a vibrant, golden hum. The more I listened, the louder it became.
A woman approached us. Her light blue aura was so brilliant it seemed to be made of Aquamarine itself. The Guardian appeared to be in her twenties. She had light blonde hair, which was shoulder-length and very thick. Her eyes were pale blue.
She looked at me and gave me the telepathic message that she would not speak until everyone could hear her. Only when I entered her aura could my physical voice speak, word for word, what she wished to say.
Greetings to all who have come and to all who may read of this experience in the future. Each of you can come to this place and be here for this discourse at any time. Time is flexible here, and those who live here are not bound by it.
My work is on the inner aspects. I know the inner worlds well, and my mission is to share this awareness with those who are in harmony with Aquamarine.
Each of my children, each Aquamarine crystal, reflects the inner ocean--that vast area of liquidity, knowledge, and wisdom within each individual. I connect people with this inner ocean, so they may become aware of its knowledge and wisdom.
My work is subtle and quiet. Rarely do I rage in a storm. I do so only when my wearer needs to be cleared of the dross that inhibits my mission and obscures the ocean within.
Aquamarine has been manifested by Spirit as a source of spiritual nourishment. I bring upliftment, but not in the way Lavender does. My effect occurs directly as a result of the awareness I bring. This is an awareness of the truth and reality of every level of existence: physical, emotional, mental, and spiritual.
I also open one's awareness to the ways in which the realities or truths on these levels seemingly conflict with one another. I bring awareness of these paradoxes, which exist because the laws of nature are different on each of these planes. Realities are different, the focus is different, the state of consciousness is different on each of these levels.
I appeared on the planet Earth, not just as a product of the Earth's evolution, but as the result of a grand evolution constantly occurring on all levels.
Pure Spirit is the fountainhead of the life force. It is also the source of another stream of energy which flows through the mental and emotional planes to the physical. As it flows through these planes, it changes color and consistency. On the mental plane, this stream is often referred to as the Healing Waters, the Nectar of the Gods, or the Fountain of Youth. On the emotional plane, it becomes somewhat more material. The people there fashion it into bowls and other objects that remind them of the source of life. When this stream finally reaches the physical plane, it manifests as the gemstone you call Aquamarine. A gemstone is the only physical manifestation that can contain the intense force of light and sound characteristic of my vibratory rate.
Illuminating Hidden Truth
Just having Aquamarine in one's aura will begin to open one's awareness on all levels. To describe how Aquamarine does this, I shall compare the individual to a mansion with many rooms. The floors of the mansion are like the individual's inner levels, and each floor contains many rooms. Aquamarine works to open more and more doors in the rooms of this mansion. By the way, the doors I open are not the chakras.
When the doors to these rooms open, my vibratory rate turns on the lights within them. In other words, my light and sound shine on all aspects of your inner bodies, increasing awareness in more and more areas. As a result, you become aware of things hiding in the shadows and recesses of your emotions, memory, and mind. You also gain greater insight and a fuller comprehension of who you are and what your potential is.
Everyone reacts differently to Aquamarine because everyone accepts truth in different ways and to different degrees. Indeed, because I open the awareness so powerfully, many people feel uncomfortable when they first wear Aquamarine. This is because when the awareness opens, the truth revealed may be too much for the mind to accept immediately. If you're not quite ready to accept a certain truth about yourself, you may resist facing it, and, as a result, you may become uncomfortable or cranky. You may also want to remove the Aquamarine, and if you don't, you may become fidgety.
At such times it might be difficult to see that what you are really resisting is your own growth. If this new awareness is too uncomfortable, you can regulate how much truth you want to see by adjusting the amount of Aquamarine you wear and how often you wear it. In any case, after wearing Aquamarine for some time, you will begin to relax.
This relaxation occurs partly because of the vibratory rate of Aquamarine's color. The deeper the natural color, the stronger this relaxing influence will be. My color helps people let go of their resistance. When people relax, the truth can be accepted more easily because it can flow more easily into conscious awareness. As one becomes more comfortable with increased inner awareness, this period of resistance, fidgeting, and crankiness will pass.
As your awareness grows and you gain a greater understanding of yourself, several things will start to happen. Opportunities on all levels of life will present themselves. You will start to understand life better, and this will allow you to work in greater harmony with your true self and with all of life. Relationships will become stronger and more harmonious. If you are on a certain spiritual path, you may be awakened to its greater potential; on the other hand, your understanding may grow beyond the limits of that path, and you may be compelled to look elsewhere for spiritual succor and sustenance.
Aquamarine is most beneficial to those who are on a path of awakening. It assists those who want to know more about themselves, their destiny, and their potential. I am especially helpful for those who have reached apparent plateaus in their spiritual unfoldment, for I can awaken them to new vistas and allow them to grow to much higher levels.
I have patience. I am gentle, calm, and understanding. At the same time, I am painfully honest, truthful, and clear. My patience regulates my honesty. For example, when I am worn, I show you only enough about yourself to spur your growth. When this growth raises your vibratory rate, I will show you more. Again you will grow and reach yet a higher level, and again I will show you more.
I will continue this cycle for as long as I am worn. The amount of truth I show people at each stage is only limited by the depth of my true color. Therefore, the deeper and brighter my natural color, the more I can give.
Discovering the Cause of Illness
In order to experience greater physical healing, people today must not only pay attention to their physical bodies but must also focus on their inner aspects and on developing awareness. When someone has a physical condition, it may seem that the life force is only being physically obstructed, when in fact the obstructions that cause most physical diseases usually occur on the inner levels.
I do not remove physical symptoms or heal the physical body directly. However, when consciousness is uplifted, the body will change. In some cases, when this upliftment of consciousness occurs, the forces causing a certain physical condition will simply cease to exist.
Aquamarine can help you become aware of why you have a specific condition and what caused it. Once you can acknowledge and accept the reasons for your condition, you will be halfway to a cure. People often blame their conditions on something in the environment or on something someone else did. It is easy, for example, for people to blame an illness on a certain disease-causing agent, such as a chemical. However, the truth is that if it were not for your own inner patterns and state of consciousness, you would not have developed your condition.
On both inner and outer levels, you have set up the circumstances that have brought about your condition. You have done this because you need the experience of having your condition in order to grow and to master the lessons that accompany that condition.
Every physical situation is the result of inner conditions, blockages, or patterns. These inner patterns act like guideposts for Spirit to lead you to your physical situation, because you, as Soul, need this experience. You need to experience the effects of your creations--what you've caused by certain actions, reactions, thoughts, or emotions in your past.
Let's say, for example, that in this lifetime you are a miner and you contract lung disease. It would be easy to blame the lung disease on your occupation. You might blame it on management for poor working conditions or on your father and grandfather for being miners and convincing you to uphold the family tradition. However, the only thing for which you can honestly blame others is acting as the vehicles through which Spirit worked to give you the experience you have set up for yourself.
The reason you are having this experience is to help you take responsibility for the effects you have caused. Eventually, you must take this responsibility; you must reap the karma for what you have created throughout your lives, past and current. This experience of lung disease--or any experience--could be resolving much karma. At the same time, it is giving Soul the opportunity for its mind, emotions, and physical body to learn the lessons involved in resolving, curing, or perhaps even dying from this disease.
Creative Inspiration
One can use Aquamarine to enhance any creative process. I say "use" Aquamarine, because one "uses" a tool. Aquamarine is a tool.
This technique involves focusing Aquamarine's ability to promote awareness on a creative activity of your choice. Let's say that you are an engineer and you are designing a mechanism of some sort. If you wear a strand of Aquamarine around your neck and are willing to awaken to the inner levels where ideas and inspirations are born, the Aquamarine will open your awareness to possible designs for the mechanism you are working on.
This technique can be especially helpful if you are experiencing problems with the design. The Aquamarine can open your awareness to greater possibilities and to the insights needed to solve these problems. It can also help you move past a creative block or plateau.
This technique will help anyone who works with the creative flow. For example, it can be useful for a physician with a patient whose symptoms are unclear or not responding to therapy. Aquamarine can help if the physician is unsure about what course to take. The next time the patient in question has an appointment, both the patient and the physician should put on a strand of Aquamarine. The physician should explain the powers of Aquamarine and why they are wearing it. Then both the patient and the physician should focus their attention on opening their awareness to what should be done for the patient.
When Aquamarine is used for these kinds of applications, it should not be worn continually. If it is, the focus will be lost. For example, artists should only wear the Aquamarine when they are painting or sculpting. They should remove it if they are interrupted for any reason, such as a need to go to the bathroom, answer the phone, or get a snack. This requires discipline, yet it is necessary for maintaining a pure focus--in this case, on the artwork in progress.
Students could wear Aquamarine when they are taking an exam or during a particular class. Of course, it would be unwise to wear Aquamarine for more than two or three classes in a row, since focus would be lost as awareness opens and shifts in many directions.
Remember, when using Aquamarine this way, focus is the key to enlivening its greatest power and effectiveness.
Gemstones and the Growth of Awareness
I am eternally young. I bring youthful energy wherever I go. It is a characteristic of youth to want to know things, grow, and become more aware. There is no end to the growth of awareness. Therefore, there will be no end to Aquamarine on this planet. As long as there are people on the planet, there will be Aquamarine.
As the awareness of people all over the Earth expands, people will recognize those things on the planet that are powerful forces for healing. People will become aware of the power of gemstones. Gemstones are the strongest, most concentrated containers of the healing force, or life force, on this planet. Once people know how to unleash and use this healing energy, they will make huge advances in the field of medicine and in other healing arts, as well as in their own spiritual growth.
Gemstones accelerate spiritual unfoldment and the growth of awareness. Once you awaken to the powers of gemstones and use them to accelerate your evolution, you will become aware of even greater uses for gemstones. This, in turn, will further hasten your unfoldment.
I, as Aquamarine, present a challenge. I present a door through which you can go to see the truth about yourself. Aquamarine is only for those who have the courage to walk through the door and confront themselves. Aquamarine is for those Souls who are brave, whether or not they are aware of their own courage.
I feel I have said enough. I have not said all, but for now I have said enough. Now you must return to the physical plane. Too much work and too much attention out of the physical body is not in balance. The next Gemstone Guardian you meet will be one with a more physical focus. You will know him as the Guardian of Green Tourmaline. I can introduce him only by name, for we are from two different worlds. Spirit will make sure you find each other when you are ready to meet him.
"It has been an honor to hear your discourse," Michael said.
It has been a pleasure and a joyful opportunity for me to clarify Aquamarine's mission and effects. I thank you for this opportunity. It is my wish that I am worn by as many people as will accept me; the more people who wear me, the more I can be of benefit. It is time that Aquamarine be used on your planet for its proper purpose. It is time for its potential to be realized.
In awareness, may the blessings be!
"May the blessings be," Michael replied.
I slipped effortlessly out of her aura. She smiled graciously and most gratefully. I had never seen such pure gratitude, mixed with love and understanding. If Aquamarine teaches these qualities, then it is surely a special gift from the planet to its people.
The listeners remained silent, enjoying the beauty of the countryside. I looked around and realized that ever since Aquamarine had begun to speak, the local wildlife had been moving closer and closer to our circle. It was apparent that we were in a world where companionship, understanding, and love for all life softened the air. Here the animals lived among the people, and no fear came between them.
Several deer were grazing next to us, and a badger had nonchalantly waddled up to the river for a drink, paying us no mind. Rabbits, birds and many other woodland creatures surrounded us, apparently there just to listen and drink in the sweet feeling radiating from Aquamarine's aura.
With reluctance, I returned to the awareness of my physical body. Yet I drew consolation from the thought that this place exists somewhere within me and--as Aquamarine said when she began--I can return whenever I wish.
