The mesmerizing beauty of gemstones has long captivated humanity. From their vibrant colors to their unmatchable sparkle, these precious stones have been admired and treasured throughout history. However, there is a special kind of gemstone that holds its own enchantment – maritime gemstones. Maritime gemstones, also known as sea gems or ocean gems, are gemstones that have been formed and polished by the power of the sea. These rare treasures are found along the shores and ocean floors across the world. They are created over countless years as the waves crash against the rocks, tumbling the stones and polishing them to perfection.
There are also twelve gemstones listed in Revelation, Chapter 21. Despite the confusion surrounding the various names and translations of them, many believe that the gems listed in Revelation, Chapter 21 are the same twelve sacred gemstones from the Mountain of GOD, "The Stones of Fire", that were in Aaron's BreastPlate of Judgement.
From the first foundation to the twelfth foundation, stones used were jasper, sapphire, chalcedony, emerald, sardonyx, sardius, chrysolyte, beryl, topaz, chrysoprasus, jacinth, and amethyst respectively. In the deep ocean, tiny crystals of barite naturally accumulate on the seafloor over time, particularly in regions ideal for this mineral formation where many decaying remains of organisms sink to the seafloor.
They are created over countless years as the waves crash against the rocks, tumbling the stones and polishing them to perfection. What makes maritime gemstones so unique is not just their beautiful appearance, but the magical energy that they possess. Many believe that these stones have absorbed the energy of the ocean, making them powerful conduits of healing and transformation.
Power and Magic of Gemstones
When the Babylonians observed the passage of the heavenly bodies across the firmament many thousands of years ago and believed that they had discovered the secrets of their effects on the fate of human beings, this also marked the dawning age in which gemstones were seen as bringers and guarantors of health and happiness. Their unusual colors and their scarcity certainly contributed to the fact that magic powers were attributed to gemstones in various, independent cultures as humanity emerged.

By Peter HenselderMore from this authorWhen the Babylonians observed the passage of the heavenly bodies across the firmament many thousands of years ago and believed that they had discovered the secrets of their effects on the fate of human beings, this also marked the dawning age in which gemstones were seen as bringers and guarantors of health and happiness.

It is said that they can help to soothe the soul and bring a sense of calm and tranquility to the wearer. One of the most popular maritime gemstones is the pearl. Pearls are formed inside oysters and clams, as a reaction to an irritant such as a grain of sand. Over time, layers of nacre build up around the irritant, creating the lustrous gemstone we know as a pearl. Pearls have long been associated with purity and elegance, and are considered a symbol of wisdom and wealth. Another famous maritime gemstone is the aquamarine, which derives its name from the Latin words "aqua" meaning water, and "marina" meaning sea. This stunning stone is known for its pale blue color, reminiscent of the clear waters of the ocean. Aquamarine is believed to bring courage and protection to those who wear it, and is often worn as a talisman for safe travels over water. Other maritime gemstones include amethyst, sapphire, and topaz, all of which can be found in various shades of blue – the color often associated with the ocean. These gemstones are believed to enhance intuition, bring clarity of thought, and promote emotional healing. Whether it is the pearl's timeless elegance, the aquamarine's calming energy, or the sapphire's mystical allure, maritime gemstones hold a special place in the world of gemology. Their connection to the ocean and their unique ability to harness the power of the sea make them truly magical. So the next time you come across a maritime gemstone, take a moment to appreciate its beauty and the enchantment it carries within..
