How to Choose Your March Birthstone
-
Aquamarine: go for clear blue
Deeper blue with no green tint is the most valued. Clean, eye-clear stones show the colour best.
-
Bloodstone: look at the spots
Good bloodstone has a deep green base with crisp red spots. It is often cut as cabochons and signet rings.
-
Wear and care
Aquamarine (7.5–8 Mohs) is tough enough for daily rings. Bloodstone (6.5–7) is best in a protective setting. Clean both with warm soapy water.
