Chuck Baker is Right! Well, I am. What I mean is that my friends always joke that I’m always right (or at least I think I am). The thing is I don’t say anything, unless I know I’m right. So it's not that I’m right about everything, but usually when I speak I know what I’m talking about. My dad always said, “Don’t speak unless you know your right.” This blog includes many subjects like religion, politics, business, movies, sports, and more.

Aquamarine

Aquamarine is not the name of a marine who likes to swim. It is the birthstone for the month of March. Aquamarine is a member of the beryl family. The beryl is a mineral that includes the species of Emerald (green), Morganite (pink), and Heliodor (golden). Aquamarine ranges in color from colorless with a hint of blue to intense deep blue. Basically, aquamarine is a blue emerald that has less inclusions and is much harder. The hardness ranged from 7.5 to 8 on a scale of 10.  The name is derived from the Latin meaning, “seawater.” The gemstone was thought to give the wearer courage, knowledge, foresight, and inspiration. It is a symbol of youth and fidelity. It is also believed that it would induce a peaceful night’s rest. Finally, aquamarine is the stone to celebrate the 19th wedding anniversary.
