Amethyst, with its rich historical background that ranges from royalty to the counter-culture of the ‘60s and ’70 (decades which are back in style again) is February’s birthstone. There is a spectrum of hues in this gem that range from deep and rich to vibrant and joyous to more subtle and calming, allowing for a breadth of styles and options. And, with the ongoing emphasis on color, amethyst is once again witnessing a resurgence due to its inherit ability to be designed into big bold gutsy statement piece to ornately detailed regal styles.

From a spiritual and symbolic standpoint, amethyst’s curative and healing properties date back to Greek legends that associated amethyst with Bacchus, the god of wine, which the color of amethyst resembled. It was believed that wearing amethyst prevented drunkenness. This branched out into a broader meaning of clear-headed and quick-witted thinking in battle and in business affairs. Often seen as a stone of peace and calming, it was thought to soothe nightmares. From the 20th century until present times amethyst is thought to calm the mind and keep it clear and centered while opening to spiritual direction. The use of crystals for healing has continued from ancient through modern times and it hit a high note during the psychedelic ‘60s and freethinking ‘70s.
