March

If your birthday is in MARCH. . .

Your birthstone is
AQUAMARINE

Aquamarine gets its name from "aqua" which is a Roman word for water and "mare" which is a word for the sea. This magical blue-green stone represents the powers of water. Sailors long ago wore aquamarine carved to look like Neptune, the god of the sea, for protection. They believed aquamarine stones came from the jewel boxes of sirens and mermaids. Ancient people immersed the aquamarine in water, then drank the water, hoping it would heal problems with their heart, liver, stomach, mouth, or throat or to undo the effects of poison. Others use it for glimpsing into the future. This usually flawless stone symbolizes love and security in long relationships between parents and children and between lovers.
In the book An Earth Child's Book of the Year, can you find the aquamarine gemstone hidden in a picture and the word "aquamarine" in the text on the March pages?

Your birth flower is
DAFFODIL, also called JONQUIL

Some of the earliest flowers to bloom, they are bright and fresh after the long, dark winter.
Daffodils and Jonquils mean rebirth, like the rebirth of spring after winter. They also symbolize caring, love, and sympathy, even a special kind of caring and sympathy for someone who may not be as kind as you are.
