History About Moss Aquamarine Gemstones

Hello and welcome to the World of Moss Aquamarine -

There is a feeling of Mystery and beauty that surrounds this Moss Aquamarine Stone. Like the word 'Aqua' in the word 'Aquamarine' suggests this Stone is believed to be a Royal hue in Blue that is delicate and easy to see.

However, when one concentrates on the Moss aspect of this gemstone the whole thing becomes much more interesting. We all know that Moss is a non-flowering green plant that grows in damp environments. So, it is reasonable to conclude the possibility that Moss Aquamarine is a Precious Gemstone where blue and green mix with green being the dominant hue.

This Gemstone is used as the Birthstone for people born in March, and it also serves as its Zodiac Stone for those born under the Scorpio Sun Sign.

This is a Unique Birthstone that utilizes Aquamarine precious Gemstone as the base.

Let me Tell You the Story of my Origin!

When it pertains to Ancient mythology, Aquamarine was thought to be the possession of Mermaids as their treasure. It was also believed to be an omen of bravery as well as protection and good Luck for sailors.

A Stone believed to provide forever happiness and youth, Aquamarine has a long history of being a well-known and highly regarded precious gemstone.

Aquamarine originates from the Latin "Aqua Marinus," meaning "Water of the Sea" in English. Aquamarine is part of the Beryl family, and it would be safe to say that Moss Aquamarine is another Rendition of the Aquamarine Gemstone.

Although Aquamarine is a clear as well as a Blue Crystal, it can also be bluish-green. This is due to iron Oxidization in the chemical composition of the Stone.

At the time, when Superstition was the prevailing belief the color Bluish-Green of Aquamarine was believed to be due to the Magnetic Aura that was the Moon and was also used to predict the future when the Moon's size was set to grow.

The mossy characteristics of the transparent Gem body are awe-inspiring and naturally occurring, with a bit of science that goes along with the process. Moss Aquamarine is known to be mined in Brazil, Africa, Madagascar as well as other places.

My Value and Quality -

Moss Aquamarine is a B or C grade Beryl with iron inclusions. So, it's obvious that there are small green spots within a Blue Aquamarine Gemstone.

There is Quality of Moss Aquamarine may alter based on the number of Iron inclusions that it has. In the case example when there is a tiny inclusion of Iron in Moss Aquamarine, it will give a more moderate look to the Gemstone.

If there is an abundance of inclusion within the Gemstone The Moss Aquamarine will let go of the green and blue hues and change to black. It would then be classified as a "Black rain Aquamarine'.

A Moss Aquamarine can only be classified as highly precious. The word about it on Internet has the fact that This Aquamarine is so rare that it can only be found in stores that sell rare Gemstones only. Moss Aquamarine is able to be made to make Earrings, Necklaces, and Bracelets.

A Quality of Moss Aquamarine will always have specks of green. This is why its appearance is muddy. If you are looking to put on jewelry that's unique yet striking, Moss Aquamarine should serve as a fantastic choice for you.

"I am a healer -

Moss Aquamarine has the power to nurture the notion that success is in the wearer's thoughts. When wearing it you will feel as if they have the power, time, and knowledge to improve the world as a place.

With its fascinating Origin It's not a surprise it is Moss Aquamarine has more than one Healing Property.

This Aquamarine is suggested for people seeking a distinct and distinctive character themselves. This Gemstone can also be utilized to boost confidence and boost your ability to express yourself.

The overall look and appearance of Moss Aquamarine Gemstone are special but it's pleasant to observe that people who wear it will feel as if have a great ability to communicate with everyone and anyone. They'll be able to talk with ease and will find themselves enthralling anyone they meet.

The most notable quality of Moss Aquamarine is that it can enchant your attention with feelings of calm and peace.

If you have it by yourself, even for a single day You will not have to face stress and the likelihood of being irritable and angry will be very low.

Last but not last, this Aquamarine is a beautiful gemstone to present to someone. A gift of this magnitude can also bring emotions about Love with them as well, as Moss Aquamarine has the ability to create feelings of affection and warmth.

[abookishdreamer]

Character Intro: Oceanus (Kingdom of Ichor)

Nicknames- Father of Waters by the people of Olympius

Dad, Father, Pop by his children

Gramps, Grandpa by his grandchildren

Mr. Blue by Poseidon

Age- 57 (immortal)

Location- Aetolia, Olympius

Personality- Unlike his more arrogant and fearsome brothers, he's generally far more benevolent- a Titan with a kind heart. He's like the ocean when it's at rest- serene, adaptable, & tranquil. He's married.

As the Titan god of the sea he has the standard abilities of a god. Many of his other abilities are like Poseidon's but on a much more powerful scale. He also has the ability of heat/thermal resistance. Underwater, he does have the ability to form a tail which are covered in dark green and light blue scales.

Oceanus is happily married to his wife Tethys (Titaness of freshwater & clouds). They reside in a lakehouse style mansion near the Achelous river just twenty minutes away from their eldest son. In storage there's many things from his past that he saved like his war table (crafted from Oceanic Metal) & crown when he previously ruled the Underwater realm. It's a marvelous sight made from adamantine and Oceanic Metal & adorned with pearls, blue sapphires, emeralds, and silver inlay crab claws. He has his own "man cave"- a personal room that he goes to when he wants to decompress and relax. There's a gigantic aquarium filled with many sea creatures and there's bookshelves that houses books on oceanic warfare, maritime, nautical navigation, & other various subjects. Oceanus owns a sailboat and ship- aptly named Old Buoy & Steadfast.

His natural scent is a mixture of sea salt and seaweed.

A go-to drink for him is a steaming cup of sea moss tea that he brews himself. He'll sometimes add a bit of ginger or algae powder to it. He also likes aloe vera juice & regular roast coffee (often getting an olympian size from The Roasted Bean). Whenever he's in the mood for alcohol he'll settle for a cold beer or a blue ricardo (a drink made with blue curacao, pineapple juice, white rum, passionfruit syrup, lemon juice, and coconut syrup).

Oceanus is the eldest son of his parents Gaia (goddess of the earth) and Ouranos (primordial god of the sky). He & his brothers Krios (Titan god of stars & constellations) and Kronos (Titan god of the harvest, time, & fate) are fraternal triplets. He's obvisouly not in contact with his youngest brother since the imprisonment in Tartarus and he doesn't have a clue to Krios' location (though he does suspect that he's hiding in the far out depths of the Underworld).

For obvious reasons Oceanus hasn't tried reaching out to his sister-in-law Rhea (Titaness of fertility, motherhood, & comfort), but he still looks out for his younger half sister Eurybia (goddess of the sea's mastery), respecting her decision to live a quite & anonymous existence free from the public eye.

He hasn't spoken to his mother in a few hundred years. Oceanus still keeps in touch with his younger half brother Thaumas (god of sea wonders).

Oceanus always starts off his mornings with a session of tai chi.

Despite his best efforts his mind often visits the past, before & during the Titanomachy. Even though he hated his father Oceanus remained neutral when it came to the plot to overthrow Ouranos. He kept up with his neutrality during the war- refusing to supply Kronos with extra troops & weapons. Oceanus was mostly successful in keeping the Underwater realm out of the Titanomachy.

His wedding band is a simple platinum band with a square shaped aquamarine gemstone in the center.

His favorite frozen treat is coconut ice cream topped with candied seaweed & sea salt.

Oceanus (though not his mentor) has advised his nephew Poseidon (god of the sea & earthquakes) and current ruler of the Underwater realm. Their relationship has always been testy. He also tries to look out for Aegaeon (god of sea storms)- reigning him in when he's more reckless than usual. In the pantheon, Oceanus still keeps in touch with the hecatoncheires & he has a generally good relationship with the other water deities. He's also still close with Helios (Titan god of the sun), as he's the father of two of Oceanus' grandchildren. They go surfing together sometimes.

His favorite dessert are his wife's beignets!

He loves snacking on oysters.

Oceanus & his wife have close to 3,000 children- their family being the largest in the pantheon. Neither of them play favorites when it comes to their children and grandchildren. Because the family is so large & spread out, it's difficult for all of them to meet. Oceanus generally keeps in touch with a lot of them through phone calls, video chats, and visits. They all try to meet up yearly at his palace in the Underwater realm. Because of proximity (just being 20 minutes away), Oceanus has gotten closer to his eldest son Achelous (god of freshwater). He has also gotten to know his son's new wife (his daughter-in-law) Aígli (goddess of glamour).

He has a "glass half full" mentality when it comes to how he sees the world. Despite the show being critically panned amongst the other deities, he has a humorous take on The Dynasty of the Vain and Powerful- especially at his portrayal.

He can play the lyre and ukulele!

From The Bread Box his favorites are the fried catfish sandwich with chipotle-honey mayo & the blackened fish sandwich with extra horseradish tartar sauce.

Even though he has a calm temperament, Oceanus is known for his explosive anger when pushed. An example of this was when one of his daughters came to him with a battered face done by an abusive partner.

He adores Tethys. He often credits her for saving him during the Titanomachy. When it was time to step away from ruling, Oceanus didn't give it a second thought. He, his wife, & several of their children spent almost 200 years laying low in Ogygia, a must needed reprieve. He still looks at her the same way he did all those years ago when they first met. They often go out on late night swims together and have picnics on his sailboat. Their most recent date was at the annual oyster roast hosted by Pleione (Titaness of sailing & stars).

Oceanus helped his granddaughter Cyane with choreographing a routine for her school's synchronized swimming team.

Currently, he's still enjoying his freedom from political scheming and successions. Oceanus keeps busy by overseeing the Ocean Cadets- a young & adolescent program open to all children to promote better citizenship and community through instruction & practice in water safety, boating skills, outdoor, social, and service experiences, & knowledge of maritime heritage. In his free time Oceanus also enjoys swimming, deep sea diving, surfing, fishing, and sailing.

Some of his favorite dishes include moussaka, mydia (served with coconut rice), lobster fettuccine, grilled octopus salad, his wife's seafood jambalaya, & kalamarakia gemista.

"Neither blood or ichor flow through my veins- it's the sea."

The pleasant vibrations emitted by aquamarine gemstones originate from their light blue color. Gold aquamarine will help to ease tensions when worn on the body in the form of an ornament or during quiet times involving meditation. Such gemstones also double up as the birthstone for women born in March hence a meaningful gift for people who are Pisces. One can find Blue Aquamarine, Moss Aquamarine, and Milky Aquamarine aquamarines among other varieties.

Colored Gemstone Engagement Rings That Are Sure to Stand Out

In recent times, a lot of brides have moved away from white diamonds and towards colored gemstone Engagement Rings in Katy, TX. Colored diamonds not only resonate with your style and personality preferences but offer a pop of color that’s to die for.

Colored engagement rings are not only striking but offer a classic and contemporary feel. Here are some things to look for when investing in colored engagement rings.

The type of cut

While you may think the color of your diamond Engagement Rings in Sugar Land is important, think again. Cut is the main factor in determining how nicely your gemstone sparkles. When it comes to fancy-colored stones, make sure to cut the stones in a way that maximizes their sparkle and vibrancy.

The type of stone

The type of stone you have is important. If you are active, outgoing, and work a lot with your hands, look for Jewelry Store in Rosenberg, TX like diamonds, sapphires, and rubies. These stones are tough, durable, and can easily weather daily wear and tear.

You can even opt for stones like emeralds, moss agate, and aquamarine which are a tad softer but offer a beautiful shade of blue and green. It all comes down to what you like and what suits your lifestyle.

The kind of style

When selecting colored Custom Jewelry In Katy, TX, it all begins and ends with the stone. You need to understand which style is important to you, be it classic, minimal, contemporary, or modern.

Once you’ve decided on the style you want, you can then pick out the kind of setting and gemstone you desire. Make sure to always go to a professional store that can appraise and insure the piece for you along with certifying your stone.

In Summary

While most coloured gemstones are more affordable than a white diamond, there are some like rubies or emeralds which may be a tad more expensive. Always look for stones that are durable and rate high on the Mohs scale of hardness.

You should also take your ring to a professional every couple of months to clean, repair and maintain it so that it looks new and shiny for years to come. Your professional will tighten the setting, polish the stone, and buff the metal band to keep it in a good condition.
