The symbol

Cancer is a cardinal water sign ruled by the Moon. Its glyph traces the crab, taken from the Lernaean crab of the Heracles myth and from older Mesopotamian sea-creature emblems. Born between June 21 and July 22, Cancer opens at the summer solstice, the year's longest day, when the sun reaches its highest point in the northern sky. Across traditions Cancer is associated with intuition, emotional depth, the home, and the protective instinct of holding what matters close.

About this stone

Aquamarine is a variety of beryl, colored by trace iron that produces its characteristic pale to medium blue, the color of clear seawater under sun. The largest historical deposits are in Brazil's Minas Gerais state, where in 1910 a single crystal weighing 110 kilograms was recovered, the largest gem-quality aquamarine ever found. Most aquamarine on the market is heat-treated to deepen the blue, an industry-standard treatment that has been used for over a century. The stone is 7.5 to 8 on the Mohs scale, hard and durable for daily wear. Curated by a certified gemologist.

Care and wear

Aquamarine is durable for daily wear. Remove before exposure to chlorinated pools or harsh chemicals. Clean with mild soap and warm water, dried with a soft cloth.
