February Birthstone - Amethyst
With its charming purple color, amethyst is a beautiful variety of quartz. It has been admired, especially by royalty, for centuries - and St. Valentine the patron of romantic love wore an amethyst ring carved with the image of Cupid. It is thought to be a stone of protection, centering, serenity, peace, and unification. It is also the gem for the 6th and 17th wedding anniversaries!

For those who love green more than purple, pale green amethyst is a lovely choice. It glows with a minty or yellow-green hue that makes us think of spring!
