March has two birthstones: Aquamarine and Bloodstone.

  • Bloodstone: Also known as heliotrope, this stone is a dark green chalcedony speckled with red spots, resembling drops of blood. Historically, it was associated with courage, strength, and protection. Its red inclusions are often iron oxide.
