Amethyst - The birthstone of February
The Amethyst's name is derived from the Greek meaning 'Without Drunkeness', traditionally worn to instill a sober and serious mind. A few stones are as famous and unique as the amethyst with its rich purple colouring and violet bands. The colour though is unstable meaning it can fade when exposed to the light in as little as two months but is quite a durable and hard stone, measuring 7 on the Mohs scale of mineral hardness.
