    • Amethyst - Birthstone for February

    posted on 17 February 2011 | posted in Birthstones

    "The February born shall find
    Sincerity and peace of mind,
    Freedom from passion and from care,
    If they, the amethyst will wear."



    The word amethyst comes from the Greek word "amethystos" meaning "not drunk", and was believed to prevent its wearers from intoxication, the gemstone was associated with the god of wine and it was common practice to serve this beverage from amethyst goblets in the belief that this would prevent overindulgence. Even today amethyst is considered a stabilizing force for those struggling to overcome addictive behaviours. If you wear the birthstone associated with your date of birth is thought to bring good luck and protection.
    Amethyst is the birthstone for February and also the traditional anniversary gemstone for the sixth year of marriage. It is an affordable stone available in colors ranging from lavender to deep purple and is very widely used in jewellery. The affordability and versatility of this gemstone makes it an ideal birthday gift.
