Aquamarine Crystal Meaning

In this post, we will be exploring the aquamarine crystal meaning from a numerology perspective.

All gemstones or crystals have vibrational energies that we may draw on to improve our lives either from a spiritual, mental, or physical healing perspective.

But there are many views on the meaning of each gemstone or crystal, and it can get rather complicated, lengthy, or confusing to appreciate the healing benefits they can bring.

Nevertheless, there are common grounds of agreement on the benefits of a crystal if you take the time to read up and harmonise them.

I try to do this work here as best as I can. And what I have done further is to cross-reference the common vibrational energy meanings with numerology by understanding the gemstone through the interpretation of the numbers.

It helps to set more stringent criteria to confirm the meaning of a gemstone. And doing so helps to provide added confidence and comfort to know that a gemstone has the desirable vibrational energies that we want.

So let’s get right into finding out the aquamarine crystal properties and its benefits!

Aquamarine Crystal Properties

We should first know that aquamarine is a variation of Beryl, and the chemical formula of Beryl is beryllium aluminum cyclosilicate (Be₃Al₂Si₆O₁₈).

Aquamarine Colour

Beryl in its original form is colourless and is also called Goshenite.

While being part of the beryl variation, aquamarine has a beautiful transparent or translucent light blue to the greenish-blue colour range.

How aquamarine gets its colour is attributed generally to the presence of oxidation in ferrous iron (Fe²⁺).

A deeper search to understand how the blue colouration in beryl happens leads to the ferrous-ferric iron ratio.

When the ferrous-ferric ratio is between 0.675 to 1.35, the blue colour starts to dominate (MacCarthy, 1925, p.135)1. The colour differs in other ratios. You can click on the link in the references section below to find out more from that publication if you are interested.

For simplicity, we may hence say that iron (Fe) plays the primary role in providing the blue colour that we see in aquamarine.

Other Properties

The following are some of the other properties associated with aquamarine for general reference.

• Mohs Scale of Hardness: 7.5 – 8
• Crystal System: Hexagonal
• Origin: Brazil, Afghanistan, Kenya, Malawi, Madagascar, Mozambique, Nigeria, Pakistan, Russia, Tanzania, Zambia

Common Vibrational Energy Meanings of Aquamarine

Aquamarine is commonly described as the Stone of Courage. The following wordings should sufficiently summarise the common vibrational energy meaning of aquamarine:

• Enhances courage, reduce stress, and calms the mind
• Sharpens intuition and enhance clairvoyance
• Improve communication and self-expression

Going by such a definition, aquamarine may look suitable for both Character Root Number 1, The Leader, and Character Root Number 2, The Communicator.

You can refer to my earlier post, Numerology Number Meaning, to have a quick summary of the meaning of the 9 numbers.

A leader character should generally possess the above qualities. Hence, if you want to enhance your vibrational energies in these areas, having a piece of aquamarine crystal in your possession will help you.

Character Root Number Derivation and Meanings

To improve the confidence of the above definition, what we can do is to use numerology as a cross-reference.

From a numerology perspective, we can calculate the representative number of a gemstone to understand its vibrational energy through the meaning of the number.

And there are 2 methods we can do this, and these are using the name and using the chemical formula. Generally, the norm is to use the name of the gemstone or crystal to calculate the vibration number / Character Root Number.

But the name of the gemstone can differ across languages. Hence, I have a preference to use the chemical formula as a universal approach and as a further check.

You can read more from my earlier post, Numerology of Gemstone, on this approach.

The ideal state for this theory is that if both methods above plus the common vibrational energy meaning all points to the same interpretation, we can be more assured that the meaning is correct.

Achieving this ideal state can be challenging, but this helps to ringfence the hundreds of gemstone variations down to a handful that is truly meaningful and valuable to own from a numerology perspective.

Of course, it then also depends on whether you need such a stone based on your numerology chart calculation.

Let’s have a look at the calculation for aquamarine below.

---

By Name

The calculation to derive the Character Root Number of aquamarine works out as follows:

A	Q	U	A	M	A	R	I	N	E
1	8	3	1	4	1	9	9	5	5

Based on the above, the Character Root Number is 1 + 8 + 3 + 1 + 4 + 1 + 9 + 9 + 5 + 5 = 46 = 4 + 6 = 1.

The positive and negative characteristics of a Character Root Number 1, Leader, are summarised as follows:

Generally, when we seek to understand the crystal’s vibrational energy meanings, we will find positive meanings only.

Hence, when we derive the gemstone energy properties through the number meanings, the assumption is that we will only look at the positive side too.

By Chemical Formula

We now look at the Character Root Number derivation of aquamarine using its chemical formula. The chemical composition of aquamarine is beryllium aluminum cyclosilicate with the formula Be₃Al₂Si₆O₁₈.

We will also need to consider the effects of oxidation of the ferrous-ferric iron ratio to provide the blue colour. As such, we will introduce Fe into the formula.

The calculation works out as follows:

B3	e3	A2	l2	S6	i6	O18	F	e
2×3	5×3	1×2	3×2	1×6	9×6	6×18	6	5
6	15	2	6	6	54	108	6	5

Based on the above translation from alphabets to numbers, the Character Root Number is 6 + 15 + 2 + 6 + 6 + 54 + 108 + 6 + 5 = 208 = 2 + 8 = 1.

As such, aquamarine also has a vibration number calculation of 1 based on chemical formula.

However, I should state that the above calculation has its limitation or difficulty. It is due to the need to consider the Fe oxidation or the ferrous-ferric iron ratio into the computation. Therefore, the assumption is that adding Fe as part of the formula is representative of blue beryl/aquamarine.

3-Way Cross Referencing of Aquamarine Crystal Meaning

If you go by the norm, you might feel that aquamarine should be a crystal more for communication.

For example, for those familiar with chakra healing, aquamarine is defined as a throat chakra gemstone and deals with communication.

And the word aqua means water, which also relates to vibration number 2 (and 7).

However, as we have seen in the calculations above, the word aquamarine and its chemical formula both result in a number 1 from a numerology perspective.

We may take the view that aquamarine has vibrational energy of number 1, with an emphasis on communication. Perhaps we can say that holding an aquamarine may help the wearer to become more of a communicative leader rather than an authoritative one.

When Do You Need Aquamarine

So when do you need to have an aquamarine crystal or gemstone to draw on its benefits?

The common way is that people may simply look for the meanings and determine whether this is what they want.

Another way is that you can look at your numerology chart and see if your chart has the number 1. You may have that as your Character Root Number, or generally, those born before the year 2000 will always have a number 1 in the top right section of their chart.

So the next question you might ask yourself is, do you feel that you have the number 1 personality in you? If you think that you want to have more leadership qualities, and a communicative type in this case, then aquamarine will suit you.

But if you do not have a number 1 anywhere in your chart, then it is beneficial to have aquamarine by your side.

You may also choose to wear aquamarine when the day’s number is number 5. You can use it to help drive your agenda across more confidently, communicating your plans effectively to your colleagues or business partners.
