Let’s get one thing straight, if you’re a Pisces, your birthstone game is strong. March comes with not one but two unique stones: aquamarine and bloodstone. But for us, there’s one clear winner here (hint: it’s not the one with “blood” in its name).
Ready to dive in? Let’s uncover everything you need to know about March’s birthstones, what makes aquamarine so special, and how to wear it.
What is Pisces' true birthstone?
Pisces have two birthstones—aquamarine and bloodstone—but aquamarine reigns supreme. Why? It’s not just its ocean-blue hue or timeless elegance. Aquamarine connects deeply to Pisces’ energy: calm, intuitive, and spiritual.
Why do Pisces have two birthstones?
It all comes down to history.
Aquamarine and bloodstone are linked to March because ancient traditions associated gemstones with different months, spiritual properties, and zodiac signs. Over time, aquamarine became the modern birthstone for March, while bloodstone stayed as its historical alternative. While both have significance, aquamarine aligns seamlessly with the Pisces spirit. It’s serene, mystical, and ever-so-enchanting, just like you.
