   Aquamarine is derived from Latin word aqua, meaning water, and marina, meaning   
   the sea.  Was believed to protect sailors, as well as to guarantee a safe   
   voyage.  The serene color of aquamarine is said to cool the temper, allowing   
   the wearer to remain calm and levelheaded.  The 2nd birthstone for March is   
   bloodstone, dark-green jasper flecked with vivid red spots of iron oxide.    
   This ancient stone was used by Babylonians to make seals and amulets.

   Linda F sent in some comments she wanted to share about her collection:   
      
   When my gram passed away a few years ago, I was thrilled to be given a few   
   pieces of her Iris & Herringbone glass.  I've managed to pick up a few more   
   pieces, and it's been fun shopping online to add to my gram's collection.
