Gorgeous purple amethyst is the stone of St Valentine and those born in February, and it carries the energy of passion and creativity. They are regal and elegant stones, favoured by royalty.
Prized by the ancient Greeks, amethysts come in various shades of brilliant purples. Amethysts are also said to prevent intoxication. In fact, the Greeks are believed to have bestowed the god of wine, Bacchus, with amethyst to prevent him succumbing to the effects of alcohol.
Amethysts are also associated with peace, courage and healing. They are said to help relieve stress, fear and anxiety, and bestow a sense of calmness upon those who carry them.
Thanks to their healing properties, amethysts are often used in the practise of meditation by different cultures around the world.
I've got a range of beautiful Amethyst jewellery available, at a variety of different price points. Browse the selection and see if you can find the perfect gift for your friends and family born in February.
