Véronique,

To recharge your aquamarine, you can leave it exposed for one or two hours in full sunlight, or overnight facing the moon.

Fortunately, aquamarine is easy to care for. Simply run it under lukewarm water to clean it, or put it on a steam bath with non-calcareous water. Finally, wipe the stone with a soft cloth.
