February Birthstone - Amethyst Jewellery
Amethyst is the purple variety of the large mineral species quartz, and can range in colour from a very light to a very dark rich deep purple. Amethyst’s name is derived from the Ancient Greek word ‘amethustos’, which translates as ‘not drunk’, relating to the belief that Amethyst had powers to protect its owner from the effects of heavy drinking.
Amethyst is believed to provide the wearer with tranquility, peace and protection.
