*FEBRUARY BIRTHSTONE – AMETHYST*
The February born shall find
Sincerity and peace of mind,
Freedom from passion and from care,
If they, amongst will wear.”
Italian Renaissance artist and scientist Leonardo da Vinci believed that wearing an amethyst could increase intelligence.
At one time, only royalty could wear the gem.
Ancient Greeks thought that the amethyst guarded against intoxication. In fact, amethyst comes from amethystos, a Greek word meaning “Sober”.
Wearing an amethyst will give you courage and help to prevent insomnia.
A dream of receiving an amethyst as a gift brings good luck.
A dream of giving one means you forgive the recipient.
The Amethyst is not only the February birthstone, it is also used to celebrate the 6th and 17th year of marriage.
Many wearers of Amethyst prize the gem for its symbolism as well as its beauty.
