• Brazil: The leading source of high-quality aquamarines.

• Pakistan: Produces vibrant blue aquamarines from the Karakoram Mountains.
• Nigeria, Mozambique, Zambia, and Afghanistan: Also significant sources.
Symbolism and Metaphysical Properties
• Symbolism: Associated with the sea, aquamarine symbolizes calmness, clarity, and courage. It has long been considered a talisman for sailors.
• Energy: Believed to soothe emotions, enhance communication, and inspire truth and trust.
• Birthstone: The traditional birthstone for March.
• Chakra: Linked to the throat chakra, aiding self-expression.
Jewelry Uses
• Appearance: Aquamarine’s cool tones make it versatile for various jewelry pieces, including rings, necklaces, earrings, and bracelets.
• Cut: Commonly faceted in emerald, oval, and pear shapes to enhance its sparkle.
• Popularity: Its light, refreshing color makes it especially sought after for spring and summer jewelry.

Why are users outbidding themselves?
When a bid is placed, this is the maximum amount a person is willing to bid for the product. Our system will then automatically bid on behalf of the bidder, incrementally increasing the bid up to the maximum to maintain their position as the highest bidder.
When there is an icon indicating 'Automatic Bid', it means our system is actively placing bids for the bidder based on their maximum bid. This may appear as if bidders are outbidding themselves, but it's simply a result of the system updating the bid to reflect the bidders maximum limit.
