Grey agate stone has been used for making jewelry, amulets, and talismans since ancient time. First mentions of this stone for healing purposes date back to Greece and Egypt. In literature, grey agate is often called “Fossil Agate." Many say that Grey agate is a stone of strength, grounding, and protection. It is used for relieving fatigue, releasing positive energy, and removing the influence of negative thoughts and energy. It is often used as a calming stone that brings hidden meaning and information to the surface.
 
Aquamarine is the soft pale blue variety of the Beryl family of gemstones, which also includes Morganite, Goshenite, Yellow Beryl and Emerald. One of the most popular blue gemstones, Aquamarine is steeped in myth and legend. Known as the gem of the sea, even the name ‘Aquamarine’ comes from the Latin ‘aqua’ for ‘water’ and ‘marina’ for ‘of the sea’. Aquamarine can have wonderful clarity, meaning that it dazzles with a bright, energetic sparkle.
