About
February Birthstone Meaning
Amethyst was once as valuable as diamond — Catherine the Great wore amethysts the size of plums. The Greek name (a-methystos) means "not drunken": the stone was believed to protect against intoxication of all kinds. February-born are said to carry the gift of mental clarity through emotional storms.
