Aquamarines Part 1

Thank you for joining us for our first aquamarine episode of March! We wish all of our March babies a very happy birthday! This episode takes a bit of a turn with a chat about mermaids and the dangers of research in the modern age of computers and AI. Join us as we discuss the talismanic properties of aquamarine and as we ask the question 'what does Pliny have to do with mermaids?'Additional Resources:https://www.history.navy.mil/research/histories/ship-histories/danfs/a/aquamarine.htmlhttps://www.americangemsociety.org/aquamarine-history/https://www.gia.edu/aquamarine-history-lorehttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aquamarine_(gem)https://www.berganza.com/knowledge/gemmology/gemstones/aquamarines?srsltid=AfmBOopQAreRv62MDdzrX5qUSCTLro1B4EwMQUrjZdMMm7_5_V4ozNyrhttps://www.igi.org/dear-humans-youre-welcome/https://www.britishmuseum.org/collection/term/x10249https://collections.vam.ac.uk/search/?id_material=AAT11073&page=1&page_size=15https://johnlloydmorgan.com/amazing-aquamarine/https://www.gutenberg.org/cache/epub/62704/pg62704-images.htmlhttps://gem-a.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/11/JoG2001_27_5.pdfhttps://archive.org/details/naturalhistoryse0000plin/page/n7/mode/2uphttp://attalus.org/pliny/hn37a.htmlhttps://talesoftimesforgotten.com/2017/09/06/pliny-the-elders-bizarre-sea-creatures/https://www.britannica.com/topic/Nereus-Greek-godhttps://www.greeklegendsandmyths.com/nereus.htmlIf you have any questions or would like to comment on an episode, you can reach us at [email protected] if you'd like to buy us a coffee, you can do so here! buymeacoffee.com/loupedpodcast
