Did You Know Colorado Has a State Gemstone?
I will be the first person to tell you that I do not know much about gemstones. However, as the years have gone on, I have learned a lot about why some Colorado residents have special meanings and memories attached to jewelry.
For example, my mom always wore a green ring. I found it pretty unique. It turns out that she has always worn a green ring because peridot is the birthstone for August.
Both my brother Ryan and I were born in the month of August. How sweet is that?
Colorado's Gemstones and the Meanings Behind Them
Many gemstones have a symbolic meaning. For example, an amethyst is a sign of clarity and a bloodstone is a sign of courage, according to Brilliant Earth. I recently discovered that states also have a specific gemstone that represents themselves.

You probably have a gemstone or know somebody who does that is a symbol for a deeper meaning. Also, a specific gemstone for a gift would be a great idea if you are struggling for Valentine's Day, a birthday, or an anniversary.

Aquamarine is our state gemstone because it is commonly found at the top of our highest mountains across the state. We wanted to learn more about the meaning of the gemstone. Our Colorado archives talk mostly about where our state gemstone can be found.
We went back to Brilliant Earth and discovered that the Aquamarine gemstone is known to be calming. Additionally, it symbolized tranquility and harmony.
