February Birthstone: What Is Amethyst?

Amethyst is February’s official birthstone and a stunning purple variety of quartz. Once upon a time, it was considered just as valuable as diamonds. Its colour ranges from rich, deep violet to soft, light lavender tones—each shade just as captivating as the next.

Meaning and Symbolism

Amethyst is known for its calming and grounding energy, symbolizing peace, wisdom, and sincerity. In modern times, it’s often associated with stress relief, emotional balance, and better sleep.

Historically, the ancient Greeks believed amethyst could protect against intoxication—its name comes from the Greek word amethystos, meaning “not drunk.” It was a favourite gemstone of royalty and was once considered as precious as rubies and sapphires, until large deposits were discovered in Brazil.
