March Birthstone
March’s birthstone is aquamarine, a bluish green color. The Latin roots are aqua-water, and marina-of the sea. Aquamarine grows in six-sided crystals up to a foot in length.
A secondary birthstone for March is bloodstone. This stone is a dark green color with flecks of red due to the presence of iron oxide. Bloodstone has been a symbol of bravery throughout history.
March Flower
The birth flower associated with March is the daffodil. This yellow and white flower blooms early in spring and is strongly associated with spring and Easter.
Daffodils are a perennial and very easy to grow in much of North America, and can actually flower for up to 50 years with adequate sunlight and drainage!
