Customized March Birthstone Jewelry: Overview Of Aquamarine

The March babies, or the babies born in the spring season have aquamarine as their birthstone. Have you ever thought about whom is March named after? Well, the March month is named after the Roman god of war, Mars. This was so because it was in March that the Roman soldiers resumed their campaigns after postponing their war due to the winter season. In technical terms, March, or Martius was the first month of the Roman calendar. It was later that the months of January and February were added so as to align the calendar better with the lunar year.
