Amethysts in February

As February comes to a close. I have one last fun fact for you about the beautiful Amethyst, which is the birthstone of February and the sixth wedding Anniversary.

The meaning of the word Amethyst. In Greek, Amethystos means a remedy against drunkenness. The name, Amethyst came from one of the many uses of the stone, namely to cure hangovers.

It is said, that St Valentine loved Amethyst and wore an Amethyst ring carved with a cupid likeness.

Next week as we move into March, I will introduce you to Aquamarine, the birthstone of March.
