Birthstone. Amethyst.

Amethyst
 
February Birthstone
 
 


Amethysts contain the second most abundant mineral found in Earth’s crust – quartz. Amethysts are very sensitive to heat.
The amethyst has a rich history of lore and legend. It can be traced back as far as 25,000 years ago in France, where it was used as a decorative stone by prehistoric humans. It has also been found among the remains of Neolithic man.
 
The word amethyst comes from the Greek word “amethystos” meaning “not drunk,” and was believed to prevent its wearers from intoxication.
