Amethyst is the traditional birthstone for February!
AMETHYST is a violet variety of quartz. The name comes from the Koine Greek ἀμέθυστος amethystos from ἀ- a-, "not" and μεθύσκω methysko / μεθύω methyo, "intoxicate", a reference to the belief that the stone protected its owner from drunkenness.The ancient Greeks wore amethyst and carved drinking vessels from it in the belief that it would prevent intoxication.
“From passion and from care kept free
Shall Pisces’ children ever be
Who wear so all the world may see.”
