Tonight’s Stone: Aquamarine
“The Spirit of the Sea Dwells Within Its Clear, Radiant Glow”
~Marine Breeze~
Our featured cocktail this time is the “Marine Breeze.” To prepare this cocktail, first fill a shaker with plenty of ice. Add equal parts of light rum, blue curaçao, and lime juice. Shake vigorously and strain into a cold martini glass. Finally, add a splash of soda water and garnish with a frothy lemon peel. The fresh, deep blue of the Marine Breeze evokes the beauty of aquamarine, creating a dreamlike atmosphere with its expansive sea-like aroma and refreshing sensation. As you sip this cocktail, let your mind wander to the world of aquamarine.
Aquamarine, true to its name, means “color of seawater.” This gem displays a range of shades from pale blue to deep sea blue, though light blue is more common. Some stones bear a deeper hue, each possessing a unique charm. Aquamarine has long been cherished as a talisman for sailors, symbolizing a calm sea. Its pure hue is said to soothe the soul and bring peace.
While contemplating aquamarine, consider playing Chopin’s “Raindrop Prelude.” This piece, part of his Prelude Op. 28, is characterized by a delicate melody reminiscent of gentle rain. The transparency and serene hues of aquamarine match well with the elegance of the raindrops touching the water surface, as portrayed in this music (Classic Masterpiece Sound Library).
“Raindrop Prelude,” with its repetitive notes like raindrops, lulls the listener into a comfortable state of meditation. The soft, flowing melody resonates with the watery element of aquamarine. The tranquility of the sea and Chopin’s peaceful scenes deepen the quiet beauty of aquamarine.
The prelude also depicts moments of intensifying rain, symbolizing the hidden strength within the calmness of aquamarine. This delicate yet emotionally deep music, paired with the stone’s quiet yet vivid brilliance, promises to leave a profound impression. Listening to Chopin’s “Raindrop Prelude,” let your thoughts explore the endless allure of aquamarine.
There’s an ancient Roman tale about aquamarine. Roman crystal craftsmen treated it as a special stone, using it in sculptures and ornaments. Known also as the “stone of youth,” it was believed to preserve youth and beauty, and was worn by nobility. These stories highlight aquamarine’s deep-rooted love in various cultures and legends. The legend of Neptune choosing aquamarine as a gemstone, endowing it with protective powers over the sea, is particularly famous. This lore made aquamarine a treasured stone for sailors, seeking safety and good fortune at sea. Even today, its transparent beauty and peaceful sea-like hues continue to captivate many.
