Birthstone of the Month - FebruaryAmethyst
February's birthstone is Amethyst. Revered by the ancient Greek as a talisman, amethyst was thought to entice the highest, purest aspirations of humankind when worn. Amethyst was thought to inspire courage, calm and contemplation. Ancient Greeks believed it actually counteracted the effects of overindulging in intoxicating beverages--the name amethyst actually means "sobering". During the fifteenth century, it was believed amethyst had the power to assist hunters in capturing wild animals, to protect soldiers in battle, and were worn as a talisman from contagion. Amethyst also is the favored gift for the 1st and 6th wedding anniversaries, historically symbolizing sincerity and sacred love. Birthstone of the Month - JanuaryGarnet
