Gemstone Amethyst

Amethyst – Gemstone for February

Beautiful purple Amethyst

Beautiful purple Amethyst is the official birthstone for those born in February. It was adopted by the American National Association of Jewelers in 1912.  And at the same time it’s the birthstone for the Zodiac sign of Pisces.

The word “amethyst” is Greek and means ”sober”, “not drunken.” This was maybe due to a faith that amethyst can save from the effects of alcohol, but most likely the Greeks were referring to the almost wine-like color of some stones that they may have seen.
